Pitches wanted (intimacy, dating, gender, etc.) | $300 to $500 per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: FEELD

We want you – yes, you – to publish your work with us. Feeld is looking for more freelance contributors. Here’s the kind of editorial work we publish on our blog:

A Week on Feeld, in which a Feeld member keeps a diary of their experiences during an uninterrupted week on Feeld. This series is intended to build an archive of what it’s really like to be a Feeld member at whatever moment they’re using it for whatever purpose, so we’re looking for all kinds of members to write about all kinds of interactions. Submissions can be anonymous or under your own byline. Our preferred word count is maximum 1500 words, but can be as short as you’d like, and the starting rate is $300USD.

Feeld Conversations are interviews, Q&A’s, or profiles of individuals that you think are part of Feeld’s orbit, whether that’s a shared mindset, relevant artistic and/or cultural work, or specific insights into relationships, intimacy, sexuality, self-discovery, and creativity. We feature artists of all mediums, educators and experts in relevant fields, and enjoy reading conversations that are sweeping (a profile of a person that talks about their entire body of work, for example) or precisely focused (an interview about a pivotal moment in a person’s life, let’s say). Our preferred word count is between 1200-2000 words, and the starting rate is $300USD.

Feeld Guides are our series of informative and educational articles about a wide range of different topics that intersect with sex, sexuality, gender, health, wellness, community, labor, and culture, but is not necessarily limited to just the above. The crucial point is to provide some kind of tangible knowledge or suggested guidance in a generous, open manner, and we do ask that these articles involve a certain amount of research and reporting, whether that’s referencing trusted citations or performing interviews with relevant experts. Our preferred word count is between 800 to 1500 words, and the starting rate is $500USD.

First Person is a series of memoir and personal history essays. We like to read about people discovering something new, or finding something new in what they thought they already knew; about relationships of all kinds, whether they’re intimate or distant, platonic or romantic, sexy or sweet—and of course we especially love those dynamics that manage to encompass, at one point or another, all of the above; your own philosophical or theoretical musings on big themes and bigger feelings; or your own individual response to a work of culture, whether that’s a piece of art, an artist’s oeuvre, or even an entire genre or medium itself. Our preferred word count is between 1000-1500 words, and the starting rate is $300USD.
