We are always looking for freelance pitches.

Our budget currently allows us to pay between $200 to $600 per piece, depending on the length and story type. The majority of our donations go toward sustaining our ability to continue paying and to be able to do so consistently. Our editors and leadership team are currently all volunteers.

We are unable to respond to all pitches, but we will contact you as soon as possible if we want to move forward with your proposed piece. We monitor our pitches regularly.
