Pitches wanted (Philly) | $1 per word

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: PHILADELPHIA MAG

Bradford Pearson, Features Editor at Philly Mag, is looking for pitches:

A semi-annual reminder: Philadelphia wants your pitches! Profiles, capers, essays, yarns, city trends, investigations, and anything in-between. Features (~5,000 words) and departments (~2,500); rate is $1/word for print. Story has to be connected to the Philly region in some way.

Take a look at our most recent longform stories, and if you have any questions or pitches let me know: https://www.phillymag.com/category/longform

And by "connected to the Philly region in some way" I mean you can pitch crazy stories like this one from our April issue about the origins of the cheesesteak in Pakistan, reported from Pakistan.
