COMPANY/PUBLICATION: HUFFPOST PERSONAL 

Noah Michelson, Head of HuffPost Personal, is looking for pitches:

I have a few slots open for for holiday/end of year/resolution essays for HuffPost Personal. I am especially looking for pitches from folks with diverse backgrounds/identities. 1000-2000 words. No hard deadline but the sooner the better. I'll need to see a draft but you can always pitch first: noah.michelson@huffpost.com

Rate: We're currently at $150 for an essay (that can always change).

The best way to get an idea is to read HuffPost Personal: https://huffpost.com/section/huffpost-personal . It should be unique, have a perspective, and allow the reader to walk away having experienced or learned something.
