Matt Brown, Publisher of Extra Points, is looking for pitches:
Please send me freelance pitches to matt @ extrapointsmb dot com. I am interested in reported stories, personal essays and interviews in the "off-the-field stories in college sports" umbrella. No need to send full draft, a paragraph + idea is more than fine.
I typically start at $350 + subscriber generation bonuses for newsletters, but am very open to renegotiating a higher rate depending on the pitch. Newsletters are typically 900-1300ish words.
CONTACT INFORMATION (please do not share the email address publicly):
