Pitches wanted (parks) | $200 per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: MATADOR NETWORK

State parks, national parks, international parks, dark sky parks, bike parks, urban parks – you name it, we’re interested in pitches on it. We’re looking for SEO-focused stories about parks and are open to full guides, round-ups, and just about anything else you can think of that relates to travel in and around parks.

Before pitching, please do a search to make sure we haven’t covered your proposed story before. As much as we love uncrowded places, we’re looking for stories on parks with broad interest, so this probably isn’t the time to pitch a profile of your local neighborhood park. But otherwise, pitch us!

Before pitching, please take a look at Matador's Style Guide.

TO APPLY:

• Please share examples of relevant past published work: 3 - 4 URLs or a portfolio link are fine
• Please let us know why you're qualified to write on this topic
• Please include a few sentences describing your pitch. We do not have specific stories we’re looking to assign out.
• Please include your email address in the pitch

YOU DO NOT NEED TO INCLUDE:

• Your phone number

Please send all information via the text box below, and thank you!
