Pitches wanted (food, drink, cannabis) (worldwide) | $350 to $500+ per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: THRILLIST 

Rosin Saez, Senior Editor of Food and Drink at Thrillist, is looking for pitches:

Attention writers: I’d love to field some rad/fun/weird/cool food and drink pitches for Q1! Stories with a national interest—we’ve got local teams who cover city-focused stories—be them trends, features, explainers, roundups. Thrillist doesn’t have a pitch guide, but happy to workshop ideas.

My email (preferred) address is rosin.saez@voxmedia.com. Rates are flexible and can range from $350 to $500+

I’m also open to cannabis pitches, especially with a food and/or drink angle. https://thrillist.com/weed

Some stories I’ve loved editing:

• Former Thrillist editor Danielle Dorsey wrote this about Ghetto Gastro’s cookbook-manifesto (I made the Triple C recipe for my bday dinner party and put everyone under a spell): https://www.thrillist.com/eat/nation/cornbread-crab-salad-recipe-black-power-kitchen
• We couldn’t not write something about ‘The Menu.’ Jessica Sulima crushes it every time: https://www.thrillist.com/eat/nation/the-menu-movie-behind-the-scenes-food
