Paulina Jayne Isaac, Senior Editor for News and Features at The Kitchn, is looking for pitches:
I’m looking to commission a personal essay in honor of Juneteenth for The Kitchn. The theme is food traditions/recipes famous among Black families. If you have a story you’d like to share, please pitch me at paulina@thekitchn.com. Rates start at $300.
A great example is this story about banana pudding, we published earlier this year: https://www.thekitchn.com/banana-pudding-essay-23632289#
I’d love to get this assigned before June.
