Pitches wanted (faith, ethics, justice) | 75 cents per word

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: BROADVIEW MAGAZINE

Nicole Schmidt, Associate Editor at Broadview Magazine, is looking for pitches:

I have some fun professional news: I'm joining the wonderful team at Broadview Magazine as an associate editor until the end of February. I'll be handling the magazine's opinion columns while I’m there and am on the hunt for pitches.

What I’m looking for: snappy perspectives on topics related to faith, ethics and justice. Columns run between 450 and 550 words (and the rate is .75 cents / word).

Your pitch should present a clear question and answer. I'm commissioning for spring and summer 2024, so ideas should be topical, but have a decent shelf life.

What I’m not looking for: Opinions that aren’t supported by facts, or are over-reliant on emotion (a personal angle is okay, but it’s not a memoir column).

If you'd like to share an idea, or you want to say hi, my email is: n.schmidt@broadview.org.
