COMPANY/PUBLICATION: MICHIGAN ALUM

Katherine Fiorillo, Editor at Michigan Alum, is looking for pitches:

Calling all freelance writers!

We're welcoming new voices to contribute to Michigan Alum, the quarterly magazine of the Alumni Association of the University of Michigan.

We write stories for and about U-M alumni with sections like Around Town (cool things developing near the three campuses), Alumni Profiles, Book Reviews, and, of course, longform feature articles. We're always open to new ideas that bring stories of the Wolverine community to life!

Our rate is $1/word and we accept pitches on a rolling basis. Plus, you don't have to be an alum to write for us!

Pitch me interesting alumni or U-M stories at katfio@umich.edu and see some examples of stories we've covered here: https://Inkd.in/gRrE5Zpw
