Eva Sandoval, BBC SpeciaList Editor, is looking for pitches:
I am looking to assign Hispanic Heritage American month SpeciaList stories! Rate: $600+. Pitches: eva.sandoval.freelance@bbc.com. As always: timely city + trending/timely SpeciaList. The writer cannot be the SpeciaList. For careful reference: https://www.bbc.com/travel/specialist
On my wishlist:
[Awesome SpeciaList's] guide to Latinx New York City
[Awesome SpeciaList's] guide to Mexican food in Los Angeles
[Awesome SpeciaList's] guide to Cuban food in Miami
Would also love to commission a fellow Latinx writer for this.
The guide should be for a US city but the writer doesn’t have to be in the US.
