Pitches wanted (ocean, conservation, adventure) | $1+ per word

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: NORTH SAILS

Deadline: 8 January 2024

Madalina Preda, Chief Sustainability Officer at North Sails, is looking for pitches:

I am looking for captivating written stories about people and communities who represent the spirit of the ocean. I am looking to commission articles for publication on northsails.com on topics connected to healthy oceans, marine conservation and regeneration, ocean exploration and adventure, and competition, performance and innovation inspired by the sea.

USD$1/word negotiable. A familiarity with ocean/sea/watersports culture is desired, but I welcome new writers if the story is good! I welcome stories set at sea, in the ocean, or in port cities, with a preference for Mediterannean countries, US east coast, UK, Germany and Netherlands.

Email madalina.preda@northsails.com. Please include a max 150 words pitch and published clips (if any). Use [Ocean Stories] as your subject line, followed by the title of the story.
