I'm filling in as features editor at The New Republic and am hungry for print magazine (5000+ word) pitches. Politics, power, policy, social issues, weird regional controversies, unlikely villains, ideological trends, etc. Pitch me: MTaylor@TNR.com

CONFIDENTIAL NOTE: Reports indicate that this opportunity will pay around $1 per word. It is recommended that you discuss the rate(s) with the editor upon the acceptance of your pitch.

TO HELP YOU CRAFT YOUR PITCH:

• Learn more about the publication: The New Republic was founded in 1914 as an intellectual call to arms for public-minded intellectuals advocating liberal reform in a new industrial age. Now, TNR remains more committed to its first principles and the need to rethink outworn assumptions and political superstitions as radically changing conditions demand. More information here.
• Read through a selection of recent articles/stories on its website.
• Review the submission guidelines here. Note that these are the publication's general guidelines to help you refine your pitch. You must still follow the editor's specific instructions above.
• Check out our collection of pitch excerpts on this page and find more sample pitches at The Open Notebook Database and at SuccessfulPitches.com.
• Do not forget to end your pitch with (1) a short introduction about yourself; (2) a paragraph highlighting your writing experience, relevant credentials and publication credits; and (3) links to your strongest work or portfolio, and online profile.
