COMPANY/PUBLICATION: DWELL

Sarah Buder, Culture Editor at Dwell, is looking for pitches:

Friendly reminder that I'm always seeking pitches for Dwell's culture vertical. Email and more details below:

Culture — Sarah Buder, Culture Editor (sarah.buder@dwell.com)

This section explores the intersection of architecture and design as they relate to culture at large, through stories about art, books, movies, music, television, travel, tech, work life, identity, and more. We’re looking for voice-y reported stories, personal essays, reactive analyses, historical deep-dives, and in-depth explainers that plug into what’s happening, what people are talking about, or what they should be talking about. We’re interested in investigative features that take us inside places we’ve never been with fascinating characters and scenes, as well as zeitgeist pieces that unpack cultural trends related to our homes and how we live.

Some of our franchises include:

• You Lived Where? a series about compromise, creativity, and the places people have called home.
• Home Watching, a column by Megan Reynolds about the wild and wooly world of renovation television from a self-proclaimed expert in the genre.
• One Night In, a series about staying in the most unparalleled places available to rest your head.
• The Trend Times, Alana Hope Levinson’s column that explores design fads in the age of doomscrolling.
• Design Detours, a series where creative people whose tastes we trust share their well-curated, design-minded travel itineraries.
