Pitches wanted (business, profiles, interviews) | $100-$150 per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: THE HELM

Braedon Lowey, Editor at The Helm, is looking for pitches:

We are looking for interviews or profiles on executives or notable business leaders. Ideally, writers will have a connection that they can source and coordinate themselves, but we also have some on our end that we could connect them with if need be. Our budget for writers is admittedly tighter than I'd like, so the best I can do is $100-150 for a 750-1000 word article — but writers that are nice to work with will find consistent work, so this is great for someone new to the space that wants experience.

Examples of articles we're looking for:

• https://thehelmmag.com/post/how-to-lead-through-turbulence-without-layoffs-4-tips-from-top-retail-ceo-risa-barash
• https://thehelmmag.com/post/an-astronaut-s-guide-to-thriving-in-remote-work
