Paying publication for articles about science journalism | $1,000 to $1,350 per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: THE OPEN NOTEBOOK

The Open Notebook is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides tools and resources to help science, environmental, and health journalists at all experience levels sharpen their skills. We do this through story-behind-the-story interviews, reported features on craft, annotations, profiles, an advice column, a database of successful news and feature pitches, and more. Learn more about TON here.

Please note: We publish stories about the craft of science journalism. We frequently receive pitches for stories about an area of scientific research or for interviews with scientists about their science. We do not publish these types of stories. Please familiarize yourself with our publication before pitching.

WHAT KINDS OF STORIES WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Our capacity for assigning stories is limited, but we welcome pitches for story-behind-the-story interviews and reported features. We also specifically welcome pitches for feature stories intended for our Diverse Voices in Science Journalism series, which highlights the experiences, perspectives, challenges, and expertise of science journalists from communities that are historically underrepresented in science writing.

WHAT WE PAY

We are committed to paying fair and competitive rates to all our contributors. We currently pay the following rates:

• $1,000 for interviews (assigned at 1,500-2,000 words)
• $1,350 for reported features (assigned at 1,500-2,000 words)

Before you pitch, please look over these guidelines.
