Jay Boller, Co-Owner and Co-Editor of Racket, is looking for pitches:
We are open for pitches. We typically pay 20 cents per word for reported pieces.
At Racket, we’re interested in pretty much anything and everything but to be a bit more specific, we’re looking for stories that would otherwise not exist in the Twin Cities news universe. That can mean a topic that’s totally new or a perspective (personal or otherwise) you wouldn’t see elsewhere in town. We publish arts and entertainment stories, profiles of individuals, explorations of overlooked subcultures or groups, trend pieces about food and drink, investigative political features, etc.
