Pitches wanted (sex, relationships, health) (worldwide) | ~$315 per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: PLATINUM MAGAZINE 

Adrianne Webster, Commissioning Features Editor at Platinum Magazine, is looking for pitches:

I'm on the hunt for experienced features writers to work on investigative and in-depth, long-form pieces for Platinum Magazine UK. I'm most interested in sex and relationships, real people and health angles. Pitches/introductions can be sent to awebster@dcthomson.co.uk. Thanks.

Prioritizing timeliness and whether the story would make it onto the cover is always helpful. Also on the hunt for celebrity freelancers for inside and cover interviews for spring and summer 2023 issues.

I'm currently on deadline for an issue going to press next week, so apologies in advance for a slow response. Should also note that unfortunately I'm not looking for travel pitches at this time.

Open to international writers? Yes.

CONFIDENTIAL NOTE: Reports indicate that this opportunity will pay £275 per feature. It is recommended that you discuss the rate(s) with the editor/employer prior to commencing work.
