Pitches wanted (sex, cancer) | $200 per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: POPSUGAR

Deadline: 21 August 2023

Taylor Andrews, Wellness Editor at POPSUGAR, is looking for pitches:

I am looking to assign a POPSUGAR article to a writer who has had or currently has metastatic breast cancer. This will be for our "Good Sex" franchise, where the writer will share what it was like having sex after the diagnosis. I'm open to other sex-related metastatic breast cancer pitches, however, if someone has a different angle they'd like to explore, but it should be in a personal essay format and definitely revolve around how the diagnosis impacted their sex life. Payment is $200.
