Adam Zivo, Founder of Break The Needles, is looking for writers/pitches:
I'm starting to commission journalistic work for Break The Needle and am in search of reliable freelancers who I can assign stories to (although pitches are also accepted). The pay is $250 CAD per 700-900 word article. Interested? Contact me at info@adamzivo.com
I'm looking for articles that explore issues around drugs, addiction, and crime. And while my perspectives on these topics are clear, I'm also open to pitches that challenge my views – so long as they're well-written and argued.
