Pitches wanted (politics, policy, any compelling narrative) | 50 cents to $1 per word

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: THE NEW REPUBLIC

Patrick Caldwell, Deputy Editor at The New Republic, is looking for pitches:

We keep printing issues year-round, and the website never sleeps, so I'm always looking for great story ideas.

We do favor stories that focus on the US, but not exclusively! Pieces about other places in the world that have a connection or tie in to US politics helps.

No set range, fees start around 50 cents, but skew closer to $1 a word, based on extent of reporting required.

TO HELP YOU CRAFT YOUR PITCH:

• Learn more about the publication: The New Republic was founded in 1914 as an intellectual call to arms for public-minded intellectuals advocating liberal reform in a new industrial age. Now, TNR remains more committed to its first principles and the need to rethink outworn assumptions and political superstitions as radically changing conditions demand. More information here.
• Read through a selection of recent articles/stories on its website.
• Review the submission guidelines here. Note that these are the publication's general guidelines to help you refine your pitch. You must still follow the editor's specific instructions above.
• Check out our collection of pitch excerpts on this page and find more sample pitches at The Open Notebook Database and at SuccessfulPitches.com.
• Do not forget to end your pitch with (1) a short introduction about yourself; (2) a paragraph highlighting your writing experience, relevant credentials and publication credits; and (3) links to your strongest work or portfolio, and online profile.
