We’re always looking for new writers to work with.
SELF magazine is a mission-driven health and wellness brand. Our goal is to help people take good care of themselves, their loved ones, and their communities. Sometimes we do that by reporting on individual actions that can make a difference; sometimes we do it by highlighting efforts to make systemic or institutional change. Sometimes it’s a bit of both.
Since SELF is a health and wellness service brand, we’re looking for stories that will help improve personal health or public health. When pitching a story, you should be able to answer the question: How is this helpful?
We have a few main categories of focus: health, fitness, food, beauty, love (think sex and relationships, both romantic and otherwise), and lifestyle (travel, money, career, home, productivity, and so on).
We’re making an effort to standardize our rates as much as possible. Fees are subject to change, but currently our rates start at $300 for a story with minimal to no reporting, and increase from there. Reported service stories start at $400; features start at $800. As a general rule, we may pay more based on the amount of reporting expected for the piece, turnaround time, and special expertise.
Before you pitch, please take a few minutes to read the following recommendations and guidelines: https://www.self.com/story/how-to-pitch-a-story-to-self
