Kaitlyn Jakola, Editorial Director at Chicago Sun-Times, is looking for pitches/writers:
I'm looking for freelance culture writers to take on a few assignments for Chicago Sun-Times over the next couple weeks. We've got some ideas in need of writers, and a few topics we're hoping to get pitches on.
Ideally we're looking for local Chicago writers. This project involves local artists and creative communities, and we're hoping to do as much in-person reporting as possible. Rates start at $200.
DM me if you're interested and I can share more details!
