Pitches wanted (actors, acting) | ~$190 to $380 per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: LITTLE WHITE LIES

Hannah Strong, Digital Editor at Little White Lies, is looking for pitches: 

A continued joy to commission the "Acting Up" column at Little White Lies – smart, fun takes on actors du jour. Especially fun to edit Carly Mattox on 2024's Weird Dude, Dan Stevens: lwlies.com/articles/the-subversive-talents-of-dan-stevens/

Always commissioning for this column so if you have something to say about an actor with a tie to a new release/birthday/anniversary in late September/October/November, pitch me: lwlies.com/tags/acting-up/

We pay between £150 and £370 for features depending on length and work scope. Features range from 1000 words to 3000 for a long read (minimum rate is 15ppw).  

Note: I've had five pitches on exceedingly famous white male actors so preferably would love some interesting pitches on people that aren't that.
