COMPANY/PUBLICATION: THRILLIST

Kerensa Cadenas, Editorial Director of Culture at Thrillist, is looking for pitches:

Over the past few months, we have been going through a shift here at Thrillist. Instead of Entertainment, we're now Culture. I'm beyond proud of everything we did for the 7 months I was able to help helm the talented Entertainment team and the work that we did together.

So moving forward we won't be doing entertainment coverage in a traditional sense instead focusing more on culture coverage that fits in Thrillist's larger scope as a site.

You can find more details about that here and how to pitch us as we move forward in this new direction. https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vT7xfNFwf8iqKodjJaxRN6jjovsh4I5piyB0zFM6FIHKDz2nU7UqPTPpCJtJepkVBlJ-4J-bBt6sVba/pub

Pay rate for freelancers usually start at $300+.
