Pitches wanted (style, internet culture, trends) | $1 per word

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: THE NEW YORK TIMES

Wilson Wong, Resident Editor at The New York Times, is looking for pitches:

In case you missed it, Ben Kesslen’s story about mother is a sharp and hilarious read: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/13/style/mother-internet-slang-lgbtq.html

Freelancers/writers, my inbox is still open to pitches. Rate: $1/word! Please send any story ideas about fashion, internet culture, trends and patterns before they become trends and patterns, and everything in between. I especially love working with new writers, so please send pitches to wilson.wong at nytimes dot com

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

• Questions/submissions: wilson.wong@nytimes.com
• Website: https://www.nytimes.com/

TO HELP YOU CRAFT YOUR PITCH:

• Learn more about the publication: The New York Times is a hub for conversation about business, technology and news affecting daily work life. It is dedicated to helping people understand the world through on-the-ground, expert and deeply reported independent journalism.
• Read through a selection of recent style-related articles/stories on its website.
• Review the submission tips here. Note that these are pitching tips written for a different section and should only be used to improve your pitch. You must still follow the editor's specific instructions above.
• Check out our collection of pitch excerpts on this page and find more sample pitches at The Open Notebook Database and at SuccessfulPitches.com.
