Allegra Frank, Senior Culture Editor at The Atlantic, is looking for pitches:
Slowly opening up my pitch box for TV/movie/internet/gaming criticism and trend pieces. Please make sure you really familiarize yourself with our section before reaching out: https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/
Key early points:
I am not looking for reviews!
we love a Big Idea here; think unifying themes
ask yourself: why this, and why now? aka: is the idea unique to this piece of media? does it feel urgent?
don’t just come with questions—I want your answers too!
Rates are variable—I paid $600-650 for two recent assignments.
