Pitches wanted (tattoos, Ivy League experience, relationships) | $220+ per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: INSIDER

Deadline: 17 October 2023

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

I am looking for a few first-person essay pitches:

• Looking for any unique or fascinating stories around tattoos. Do you have a giant tattoo that you hate? Did you spend a large chunk of money on your tattoos? Do you not date people if they have tattoos? I want to hear about it!
• Looking for someone who married someone with bad credit and didn't think it was a big deal.
• Looking for anyone who has a story about going/applying to Ivy League colleges. Looking for current students or recent graduates who can talk about the Ivy League experience from a variety of angles (dorms, food, classes, applications, etc.)

Pay for all of these start at $220 and they can pitch me at folito@insider.com.
