Pitches wanted (gaming) (worldwide) | ~12+ cents per word

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: THE LOADOUT 

Deadline: 20 November 2022

Jessica Wells, Editor at The Loadout, is looking for pitches:

Freelancers, it's that time of year again. The Loadout is looking for end of year feature pitches. If you have an opinion piece or interview, I want to hear from you. My email is: Jessica.wells@theloadout.com

I must stress that the freelancer pitching understands The Loadouts audience. The last time my pitch call was broadcast to various freelancer groups, I had so many irrelevant pitches. Going the extra mile to read our site and gauge what will do well with our readers really does matter.

Deadline: I'm looking to commission them by November 21. However time sensitive pitches after that date will be considered.

Open to international writers? Yep!
