Pitches wanted (midlife) | $400 per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: GLORIA

Laura Norkin, Guest Editor at Gloria, is looking for pitches:

I am doing some guest features editing for my pal’s newsletter, Gloria, which is for women who aren't yet old, but aren't still young, those embarking on midlife and those who are curious about what the future holds. Consider this a call for pitches.

Gloria runs essays, interviews, and reported features less than 1500 words that tap into a conversation women in that cohort are or should be having. DM me the elevator version of your pitch and I’ll move us to email if it’s a fit.

Specific pitch call: for essays on starting over in or near midlife. Did you blow up your life with an affair or dramatic career ending and start fresh? Was your life blown up by someone/something else and you’re putting it together anew? DM me if you fit the age demo.

I just want to caveat that I’ll be replying most likely mid-next week. Thanks and stay tuned!

Rate: $400.
