Deadline: 30 September 2024
Paige DiFiore, Deputy Editor for Life and Entertainment at Insider, is looking for pitches:
Hi freelancers! New pitch call out for Business Insider. I am looking for people who tried living in major/popular cities but eventually found happiness living near them (within 2~ hours or so) instead.
Examples:
I loved [CITY], but it got too pricey. Now, I happily live X miles away.
After a decade in Orlando, I moved an hour north. Life is good and I can actually afford a house.
I found X to be overrated. My town one hour north is way better.
Please DM me pitch details/possible headline if you fit the bill. Rates for these start at $230 for 600 words. The deadline to get in touch is 9/30.
Open to anyone.
