Paige DiFiore, Life and Entertainment Editor of Insider, is looking for pitches:

I am seeking pitches for reported features or investigations on travel, cruises, unique living situations, weddings, food/restaurants, TV, or interior design for Insider. Have a vague idea or a clear vision? Either way, let's chat. DM me!

Rates vary depending on the type of piece, word count, etc., but start at $250.

What kind of food? Fun eating stories, deep-dives, investigations, etc. Open to a range. Some examples:
