Rosemary Donahue, Health and Parenting Editor at The Insider, is looking for pitches:

I am looking for pitches about the following topics for Business Insider's health and parenting section: intergenerational friendships, coping with breakups in an interesting way, relationships that might be considered "unconventional" (age gap relationships, twins who date twins, etc.), stories comparing doing something in the US vs what it's like to do that thing in other countries (parenting in the US vs somewhere else, dating, going to school, etc.), handling student loan debt in an interesting way, grandparents who ignored rules you set while babysitting, stories about traveling with family, and other interesting stories with personal narratives.

Rate starts at $225 for around 600-700 words. Accepting new writers and open to international writers. Please email me at rdonahue@businessinsider.com with links to previous work if possible. Use PITCH: [Proposed headline] as your subject line.
