Pitches wanted (urban environment, culture, society, politics) | $500+ per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: URBAN OMNIBUS

Deadline: 1 May 2023

What are you up to? We want to know! Urban Omnibus is seeking proposals for features for publication starting summer 2023. Send questions or pitches to info@urbanomnibus.net by May 1.

Urban Omnibus features provide new perspectives on the city and how it is made. We are interested in the relationships between the urban environment and culture, society, politics, and everyday life. Features should explore issues of broad relevance through specific sites, projects, and stories centered in New York City. We especially like to hear from people with a personal or professional stake in their topic. We publish features in a variety of formats, including critical or historical essays, reported articles (2500 words), interviews, photo portfolios, visual projects, and design proposals, among others.

Contributors are compensated. Rates begin at $300 for an interview and $500 for a feature and increase in accordance with the complexity and demands of the project.
