Pitches wanted (business, culture, money) | $2 per word

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: BUSINESSWEEK

Danielle Sacks, Senior Features Editor at Bloomberg Businessweek, is looking for pitches:

Feature writers, bring me your pitches! I would love to get more voices into the mix at Businessweek.

Deeply-reported longform narrative is our sweet spot. Scams, heists, yarns, profiles, subcultures — any tale related to business/culture/money.

We're looking for pitches for complex, long form narrative features, like this expose we did on Xponential Fitness, a sneakerhead ponzi scheme, what happens when Dave Chappelle buys up your town, Jessica Simpson trying to reclaim her business empire, or the real estate scammer of San Diego. Please read our stories first so you have a sense of what we’re looking for.

Writers can pitch me at dgerlach8@bloomberg.net

CONFIDENTIAL NOTE: Reports indicate that this opportunity will pay $2/word. It is recommended that you discuss the rate(s) with the editor upon the acceptance of your pitch.
