Leslie Garrett, Editor at Bluedot Living, is looking for pitches/writers:
I'm looking for more great writers for Bluedot Living. Do you have a great solutions-focused climate story to share about what's happening in your community? Please pitch me at leslie@bluedotliving.com
We pay $175 for what we call "dispatches"—reporting about a specific project/initiative in a community. Dispatches run 400-800 words, typically. Features run 800-1,500 words (ish) and we pay anywhere from $400-$750 depending on complexity/writer's experience.
Deadline: ASAP. I am always looking for new writers/stories but I have a few ideas (one in Kentucky, another in Texas) that I'd love to assign but looking for local writers.
