Pitches wanted (adventure, travel, profiles, lifestyle) (WORLDWIDE) | ~34 cents per word

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: SOLO 

Laura Holt, Editor at SOLO, is looking for pitches:

I'm on the hunt for new people to profile and new stories to commission for SOLO, the online magazine for Flashpack. If you'd like to pitch, email us at content@flashpack.com. Rate: £300 per 1,000-word article.

We're looking for people-first stories, tales of adventurous spirits, things that chime with our free-spirited, independent-minded readers in their 30s and 40s, unusual travel angles or lifestyle topics (wellness, music, design, food, relationships, careers).

If the story is travel-focussed pitch, it should align with where we run trips (we have lots more launches in the pipeline, too). But we also cover lifestyle angles, on wellness, food, music, relationships, careers, design, that are not destination dependent.

Open to international writers? Yes! We’re a global brand speaking to a well-travelled audience around the world, so the more diversity, the better.
