Jacob Brogan, Book Reviews Editor at Washington Post, is looking for a writer:
I edit book reviews (mostly non-fiction) from freelancers and you are welcome to pitch me.
Email is jacob.brogan@washpost.com. It's best to target titles that are still at least two months from publication, since we try to work well in advance of print deadlines.
Our standard rate for reviews is currently $375. Feel free to pitch me any time.
Open to international writers? Absolutely!
