If you have a story pitch that would fit Bolts, we would love to hear from you!
Rates: Most of the stories we publish involve original reporting; the default rate we offer for a story with original reporting is $800. For stories that will be longer, take longer, or demand more work than our default assignment, an editor may offer a higher rate that reflects that larger scope.
Our guide lays out the sort of topics and stories we're interested in, and how to get in touch: https://boltsmag.org/pitch-us/
