Pitches wanted (opinion, politics, culture) | ~31 cents per word

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: I NEWSPAPER

Kuba Shand-Baptiste, Assistant Opinion Editor at I Newspaper, is looking for pitches:

I'm looking for more evergreen pitches for I's opinion section. If you have a really interesting, conversation-driving idea that isn't time-sensitive, please get in touch: kuba.shand-baptiste@inews.co.uk

Some general pitching info here if you're unsure of how to pitch (but use my email in this instance): https://inews.co.uk/how-to-pitch-i-opinion

Remember, pitches don't always have to be serious. We love a funny piece too.

Rate is 0.25p a word.

We're open to writers who aren't based in the UK. We're also open to non-UK news topics if the subject is general/universally appealing. The more specific to another country, the more likely it's better suited for the foreign desk (if at all).

CONTACT INFORMATION (please do not share the email address publicly):

• Questions/submissions: kuba.shand-baptiste@inews.co.uk
• Website: https://inews.co.uk
