Pitches wanted (breadwinner) | $250 per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: INSIDER

Deadline: 27 October 2023

Frank Olito, Editor at Insider, is looking for pitches:

I am looking for a married woman who is the breadwinner of her family — and who is willing to write a first-person essay about what it's like. (How does it affect your relationship with your husband? How do you both work out the finances?) There will be a photography component to this piece, so please make sure you and your husband are OK with being photographed and located in or near a big city. We are looking to pay $250 for this piece and the deadline for pitches is 10/27. Email pitches to folito@insider.com
