COMPANY/PUBLICATION: NEWS FROM SCIENCE

I'm looking for stories for my beat, which is diversity in science, but also other pitches that I can direct to my colleagues. You can talk to me about potential stories. Here are the freelancer guidelines for News from Science to help with that: https://www.science.org/content/page/freelancer-guidelines

We're always looking for pitches from U.S. and non-U.S.-based writers!

For most stories pay is per word, with rate depending on experience. Our rates begin at $0.75 per word for online-only stories and $1.25 per word for print-only stories.  For certain types of stories, we pay a flat rate negotiated in advance—a typical online Q&A, for example, is $500.
