Paige Blankenbuehler, Senior Editor at High Country News, is looking for pitches:
I am always interested in receiving pitches for stories in the Southwest where ecology, place and culture/identity intersect. For High Country News, $1/word, 650-2,000 words. To be honest, shorter is better because everyone wants to write long. Email paigeb@hcn.org
