Pitches wanted (health) | $700+ per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: SELF

Julia Sullivan, Associate Health Director at SELF, is looking for pitches:

It's my first week as SELF's associate health director and am looking for writers who can turn dry, medical jargon-heavy health content into voicey, human-oriented (maybe even funny/witty at times) stories. Intro me with clips/pitches: Julia_Sullivan@condenast.com

SELF’s health condition–specific articles usually start at $750/article, but may be slightly lower or higher depending on the assignment. Features and heavily reported pieces will be higher.

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

• Submissions: julia_sullivan@condenast.com
• Website: https://www.self.com/
