Pitches wanted (relationships) (worldwide) | ~37+ cents per word

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: INSIDER 

Rosemary Donahue, Health and Parenting Editor at The Insider, is looking for pitches:

I am looking for pitches for the health section of Insider about relationship stories. Would love stories about meeting your partner in interesting ways, fun (or strange) first dates, stories about going to couples therapy (whether it helped you improve your relationship or break up amicably), stories about having different financial backgrounds/philosophies and how that plays out in your relationship (this can also be about friendships, too), etc. Just all sorts of interesting stories about romantic and friendship dynamics. Rates start at $225 for 600 words. Accepting new writers from all demos and locations. Email me at rdonahue@insider.com with relevant clips if you have them. Please format subject line as "PITCH: [Proposed headline]"

Rolling deadline.
