Deadline: 3 May 2023
Dan Gentile, Culture Editor at SFGate, is looking for pitches:
Pitch call for freelancer writers! I'm looking stories about the release of the new Zelda game. Creative features ideally with Bay Area hooks (either connecting something in the game to the Bay Area, finding some folks who live here that worked on it, or roping in Bay Area sources to illuminate some aspect of Zelda), not reviews. Rates start at $200.
This is the sort of outside-the-box stuff I'm looking for, but with Bay Area hooks: https://www.polygon.com/videos/2019/7/10/20689069/breath-of-the-wild-zelda-link-recipe-cooking-botw-unraveled-eater
I would love to have pitches in by May 3, but if ideas develop after the May 12 release, I'm all ears on those too.
