Pitches wanted (climate) (WORLDWIDE) | ~$135 to $170 per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: GAL-DEM MAGAZINE 

Diyora Shadijanova, Climate Editor at Gal-dem Magazine, is looking for pitches:

I am looking for pitches for the climate section of gal-dem.com/. Please email diyora@gal-dem.com with the subject headline 'PITCH'. Themes strongly encouraged: international case studies, solution-oriented stories and intersections of climate injustice.

Our fees have gone up slightly, we are a very small publication, and the union is constantly pushing to increase our rates. We pay £120 for op-eds and essays and £150 for multi-interview features. Our full pitching guide: https://gal-dem.com/about/#pitch

Here are some pieces I have enjoyed publishing recently:

• Is the climate emergency making Hajj even more exclusive? https://gal-dem.com/is-the-climate-emergency-making-hajj-even-more-exclusive/
• As floods batter Pakistan, local organisers are racing against time: https://gal-dem.com/pakistan-floods-mutual-aid-organisers/
• Direct action works, it’s why climate protesters are targeted by the Tories: https://gal-dem.com/direct-action-works-its-why-climate-protesters-are-targeted-by-the-tories/

Also would love pitches on profiles you think we should do, climate documentaries/films we need to cover and reviews of climate books / art. A gentle reminder that gal-dem is committed to telling the stories of people of color from marginalized genders.

Open to international writers? Yes — absolutely!
