Added 2024-11-05 20:33:23 +0000 UTCCOMPANY/PUBLICATION: BBC SPECIALIST
Deadline: 8 November 2024
Eva Sandoval, BBC SpeciaList Editor, is looking for pitches:
I am looking for SpeciaList city guides for ski season featuring timely notable SpeciaList (not a ski instructor or anyone in the hospitality industry). $600, eva.sandoval.freelance@bbc.com. The writer cannot be the SpeciaList.
We are looking for guides to ski towns/regions. Where to eat could be one of the “stops” but the guide would be “XX’s guide to Gstaad”. The specialist is timely/trending/notable—no ski instructors or anyone affiliated with the hospitality industry. Pitch me someone you are very confident you can get.
Deadline is Friday.
