Pitches wanted (movies) | ~15 cents per word

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: DIGITAL SPY

Ian Sandwell, Movie Editor of Digital Spy, is looking for pitches:

Have you seen any upcoming movie release? I am always open to receiving pitches so get in touch! Think more hot takes/opinions, rather than SEO-led pieces. All commissions paid. Can email me any pitches at isandwell@digitalspy.co.uk

I am always open for pitches for anything so no particular deadline, but usually the sooner, the better as we find coverage works best in the first week or so after release.

NOTE: Reports indicate that this opportunity will pay a flat rate equivalent to around 15 cents per word. It is recommended that you discuss the rate(s) with the editor before commencing work.

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

• Questions / submissions: isandwell@digitalspy.com
• Website: https://www.digitalspy.com/

TO HELP YOU CRAFT YOUR PITCH:

• Read through a selection of recent movie-related articles/stories on its website.
• Review the submission guidelines here. Note that these are the publication's general guidelines to help you refine your pitch. You must still follow the editor's specific instructions above.
