Pitches wanted (Azores) | $200 per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: MATADOR

Matador is seeking stories about the Azores across a variety of topics

Have you spent time in the Azores? Tell us about it.

We're looking for a story or two around the Azores. We're open to round-ups, itineraries, location features, or anything else you can think of. In your pitch, please be specific about the story you're proposing. It may be helpful to remember that most of our audience is based in the US, and that we like our stories to be interesting, but also broad enough to appeal to a general travel audience.

We appreciate thorough pitches, but please do not submit entire articles or content written on spec. Also note that Matador prefers editorial-focused stories rather than blog-type articles. We suggest reviewing our style guide before pitching (no "royal we," for example).

TO APPLY:

• Please share examples of relevant past published work (3-4 URLs or a portfolio link would be ideal)
• Please let us know why you're qualified to write on this topic
• Please include a description of the article you propose writing on this topic (we are not assigning out specific articles)
• Please include your email address in the pitch

YOU DO NOT NEED TO INCLUDE:

• Proposed word counts or deadlines
• Your phone number
• Links to photos

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