Pitches wanted (football) | pay ~$180 per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: KULT

Deadline: 3 March 2023

Kult is open for pitches.

We’re back in a position where we can commission something, which is top. We’re open to pitches on women’s football, non-league, fan activism, little-known clubs on remote islands, favourite tea kiosks, hidden political messages in kits, whatever.

If it’s something that probably wouldn’t be commissioned elsewhere, great. If there’s an opportunity to take photos, even better. It needs to be accompanied by imagery of some sort, which is something to bear in mind. The rate is a flat £150, for sake of transparency.

If you haven’t written about football before but have a really strong idea, get in touch. Left-field pitches welcome. Anything which falls in the space where football overlaps with social history, politics or wider culture will be spot on. Pitches to editor [at] kultfc [dot] com.

Deadline: We’ll make a decision by Friday. Anything up until then will be in the frame.
