Pitches wanted (built environment, public space, landscapes, etc.) | $200 per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: WEATHERED

Anjulie Rao, Creator of Weathered, is looking for pitches:

Call for pitches, WEATHERED, Season 2: Seeking stories about cities, landscapes, and the built environment in the context of the wintertime. I’m particularly looking for topics surrounding maintenance/care, open/public space, insulation, climate change, togetherness/isolation, unusual winter infrastructure, etc. Your pitch should have a strong perspective and engage critically with your topic; I accept lyric/braided essays, too. Stories can be as long as 1,800 words, but all stories are paid a flat rate of $200. Email me.
