COMPANY/PUBLICATION: INVERSE

Deadline: 15 May 2023

Jacob Kleinman, Executive Editor at Inverse, is looking for pitches:

Call for freelance pitches I'm looking for features and essays for a special package all about Blockbusters (the movie genre, not the defunct video rental store). Specifically, stories about Mission Impossible, Indiana Jones, The Flash, Secret Invasion & Ahsoka.

Monday is probably the latest if you want to be considered.

Take a look at this for a sense of the type of features I'm looking for: https://www.inverse.com/15-years-of-marvel

Rates are $150 for an essay, $250-300 for a single interview story, $500+ for a feature.
