Conz Preti, Senior Editor at Insider, is looking for pitches:
I am looking for essays from moms feeling overwhelmed as the year comes to an end. Whether it's the marathon that starts on Halloween and goes until New Year's Eve, or just the compounded exhaustion.
I am also looking for a very specific essay along the lines of "My husband and I are both working parents, but somehow, he still has time for guys’ trips and football games."
$250 for 600 words.
