Pitches wanted (policy, politics, trade) | $2,000 per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: NARRATIVELY/WILSON QUARTERLY

Deadline: 12 February 2023

Narratively is collaborating with The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars to produce the next edition of Wilson Quarterly, a global journal of ideas, cultural and news. Wilson Quarterly looks at how policy and politics affect the world, on a variety of levels. We are currently seeking pitches for the upcoming theme:

Opportunities Across Borders: The spring 2023 issue of the Wilson Quarterly will take a close look at trade and the opportunities it presents for renewed American economic and foreign policy leadership. We are hoping that Narratively writers can help us tell the stories that demonstrate how trade agreements impact peoples’ lives and the communities they live in. A couple of angles in which we are interested include:

• How the Abraham Accords have created opportunities in Jordan or other Middle Eastern countries.
• How trade has benefitted women or other marginalized populations in a developing country/community.
• An example of how digital trade has enabled small and medium-sized businesses to engage where they couldn’t before.

Or any other stories that highlight the opportunities that trade has/could have with a focus on the human impact.

Rate: $2,000 for 1,500-2,000 words

Please review the Wilson Quarterly website for examples of the types of stories they run before submitting your pitch. Thank you!
