Charlie Hall, Senior Editor at Polygon, is looking for pitches:
I'm pretty much always looking for tabletop pitches. But please don't pitch me on "hey, this thing exists." Instead, pitch me what you want to say about the thing. Have a strong angle, and tell me what you're going to tell me. More guidance here: https://www.polygon.com/2019/2/28/18244873/polygon-pitching-guidelines-how-to-pitch
Polygon's tabletop section is strong. We will continue to buy great stories into 2023. I am a patient man. I am not going anywhere. Writers, be patient with yourselves as well.
Rate is $300+ depending on length/scope.
Open to international writers? Yes.
