Nicole Pasulka, Senior Features Editor at Cosmopolitan, is looking for pitches:
The Cosmopolitan features team is looking for pitches for our fall issue. Send me your ideas for original nonfiction STORIES (not just topics you want to explore) with gripping narratives about memorable people. Or maybe there's a bonkers trend no one is talking about. Stories should appeal to women in the US under 35 and please note that we don't publish personal essays in the features section. Rate is $1.50 to $2 a word. Email is nicole dot pasulka at hearst dot com Hit me up!
Would love to receive pitches for this issue by the end of next week. But a good pitch is always welcome--anything later just might not make it for our fall print deadline.
