Pitches wanted (food) | $100-$250 per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: PALESTINE IN AMERICA

Deadline: 27 September 2024 

Nylah Iqbal Muhammad, Guest Editor for the Palestine in America food issue, is looking for pitches: 

We are looking for writers and pitches for their Deluxe FOOD Issue. We want to commission writers from all backgrounds but are giving priority to Palestinians, and Palestinian writers from Gaza, the West Bank, and 1948 occupied territories. We have plenty of stories to assign but are also looking for original pitches for the following:

• Deep dives, reported pieces

• Profiles

• Poetry and fiction

• Personal Essays

• Family Recipes

• Food/Travel Narratives

• Anything else that fits in the theme of Palestine and food

Palestine in America is self-funded, so we have a limited budget. Short pieces are $100 and longer articles are $250. However, we are putting on fundraisers — for both the publication and for Gaza — to pay our writers more so these rates will go up. Send submissions or introduce yourself by emailing palestineinamericafoodissue@gmail.com by September 27th. We’re really excited about this Food Issue and would love for the best food writers out there to be part of it!
