Emily Krivograd, Associate Editor of Life and Entertainment at Insider, is looking for pitches:
I am looking for US vs. non-US story ideas (ex: I'm a Brit who visited Texas for the first time) and essays about moving from expats/those who experienced a major culture shock. Rates start at $220 for 600 words. No hard deadline!
Story examples:
I'm a Californian who visited Jacksonville Beach for the first time. I preferred the Florida spot over Santa Monica for a laid-back vacation: https://www.businessinsider.com/californian-visits-jacksonville-beach-florida-first-time-comparison-2023-6
My family moved to Europe for the summer — our Airbnb cost $4,000 less than sending my kid to day camp in the US: https://www.businessinsider.com/american-moving-to-europe-cheaper-than-us-summer-camp-2023-7
Can pitch me via DM. No emails, please!
