Pitches wanted (trends, entertainment, etc.) | ~$240+ per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: I-D

Douglas Greenwood, Contributing Editor at i-D, is looking for pitches:

Open for pitches! Op-eds, listicles and reported features for i-D online. Spotted a cool trend? Keen to write about a film or TV show coming out from an off-kilter angle? Email me: douglas.greenwood [at] i-d [dot] co

My key piece of advice is READ THE SITE. If we've never covered a particular genre of show or movie, there's normally a reason for that. 'This is good/we should all be watching this' isn't a take. Also, no personal essays, I beg!

CONFIDENTIAL NOTE: Reports indicate that this opportunity will pay £200+ per article. It is recommended that you discuss the rate(s) with the editor upon the acceptance of your pitch.

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

• Submissions: douglas.greenwood@i-d.co
• Website: https://i-d.vice.com

TO HELP YOU CRAFT YOUR PITCH:

• Learn more about the publication: i-D (published by Vice Media) is a consistent source of inspiration in fashion culture. It began as a fanzine dedicated to the street style of punk-era London in 1980, and quickly earned its position at the vanguard of fashion and style. More information here.
• Read through its selection of recent articles/stories, categorized into: Film, TV, Music, Pop Culture, Activism, Fashion
• 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.
