Pitches wanted (gaming) (WORLDWIDE) | ~17 cents per word

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: PCGAMESN 

Ford James, Guides Editor of PCGamesN, is looking for pitches:

I’m always accepting guide / evergreen PC game pitches. Just pitch to me at Ford.James[at]pcgamesn[dot]com.

I can only commission topics that have the search volume data behind them to back it up, which is the downside of the SEO landscape, but if you have ideas in mind without the SEO knowledge then send them over and we can work together to sculpt an idea we’re both happy with.

Our main focus is on live service games, upcoming titles, and best lists. Drop me a line and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

Open to pitches from writers not based in the UK? Absolutely! Location isn't a problem at all.

CONFIDENTIAL NOTE: Reports indicate that this opportunity will pay £150/1,000 words. It is recommended that you discuss the rate(s) with the editor prior to commencing work.

CONTACT INFORMATION (please do not share the email address publicly):

• Questions / submissions: ford.james@pcgamesn.com
• Website: https://www.pcgamesn.com/
