Pitches wanted (sex) | ~40 cents per word

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: POPSUGAR

Deadline: 31 March 2023

Taylor Andrews, Wellness Editor at POPSUGAR, is looking for pitches:

For a POPSUGAR franchise, I’m looking for people to write about the best sex they’ve ever experienced. For example, maybe it's the first time they used a sex toy in the bedroom with a partner, maybe it was a ONS in a NYC hotel, maybe it was hooking up with a BFF's sibling, maybe it was masturbating, etc. Compensation is $200 and word count is flexible, but maybe around 500 words give or take. This is an ongoing franchise, so I’ll be accepting pitches for the next 2-3 months. However, would love pitches ASAP to get this franchise kicked off. Email me at taylor.andrews@voxmedia.com with the subject “Good Sex Pitch”. Stories will be anonymous.
