Pitches wanted (health, sexuality, sustainability, climate) | $200 per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: THE GOOD TRADE

The Good Trade is dedicated to slow publishing and quality content, which means we are highly selective in the pitches we accept. We look for fresh takes and innovative approaches to thoughtful living—we are not looking for basic “how to” or “reasons why” posts. Because of the number of pitches we receive, we only respond to pitches and contributors we are interested in learning more about.

We love to hear from subject matter experts in health, sexuality and gender, and sustainability and climate. If you have a professional or editorial background in those subjects, email editorial@thegoodtrade.com with “SME” in the subject line. Please include previously published work and a 3-4 sentence overview of your pitch. We do not commission on spec.

CONFIDENTIAL NOTE: Reports indicate that this opportunity will pay $200 for 800-1000 words. It is recommended that you discuss the rate(s) with the editor prior to commencing work.
