TO HELP YOU CRAFT YOUR PITCH:

• Learn more about the publication: Vox’s Future Perfect section covers the world’s biggest, most neglected moral and technological problems, and the philosophical debates around how to do the most good. The section's work is animated by a baseline question: What would we write about if our only job was to cover the most important and yet oddly neglected stories in the world?
• Read through a selection of recent articles/stories on its website.
• Review the submission guidelines here and here.
• Check out our collection of pitch excerpts on this page and find more sample pitches at The Open Notebook and at SuccessfulPitches.com.
• Do not forget to end your pitch with (1) a short introduction about yourself; (2) a few lines highlighting your writing experience, relevant credentials and publication credits; and (3) links to your strongest work or portfolio, and online profile.
