Pitches wanted from queer writers (gaming) | ~$250 per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: TECHRADAR

Jake Tucker, Editor in Chief of TechRadar, is looking for pitches:

TechRadar is going to do a week of content on queerness in and around games from queer writers from Monday 26 to Friday 30. I am looking for pitches for 1000-1200 word features. These will pay £200 each. Pitch me on: Jake.tucker@futurenet.com

Small bits: I don't need any "proof" of queerness. Your idea and some samples are fine. I feel very fortunate to have a lot of passionate queer writers on the staff team here, but want new perspectives or fun reported stuff to support the work they'll do.

When I say fun, I mean fun to work on. Some reported features are not fun in tone and those are also okay. You can reach out to me with questions!

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

• Submissions: jake.tucker@futurenet.com
