COMPANY/PUBLICATION: SCIENCE FOCUS

Daniel Bennett, Editor of BBC Science Focus, is looking for pitches:

I am seeking to broaden my pool of freelancers. I am specifically interested in science and health writers, offering commissions ranging from £300 to £700 for articles between 1000 and 2000 words. I prefer receiving strong pitches, but I also welcome writers reaching out with information about their expertise, along with relevant links. Occasionally, there are smaller commissioning opportunities available, making it a valuable platform for early-career science writers. If this opportunity excites you, please email me at daniel.bennett@ourmedia.co.uk.
