Pitches wanted (conservation, environment, birds) (WORLDWIDE) | 50 cents to $1.50 per word
Added 2022-09-23 14:47:19 +0000 UTC[This opportunity was posted 60+ days ago and has expired.]
We have new pitch guidelines out (with rates!). We're into conservation and environmental journalism, and all things birds.
Right now, I'm especially interested in feature ideas for our 2023 issues, and front-of-book pitches for concise stories told with data graphics, maps, diagrams, or other compelling visuals.
These submission guidelines are evergreen, though please send pitches by October 11 for upcoming, most timely consideration. Yes, we work with non-US based writers. Our geographic focus most heavily leans to the Americas, though we publish stories from elsewhere sometimes.
HOW MUCH DO WE PAY FOR FREELANCE PIECES?
For online news articles, explainers, Q&As, and other stories that typically run less than 1,200 words, we pay $.50/word, but the rate may rise with time commitment and reporting intensity. We expect writers to stick closely to the assigned word count and we pay based on the final word count.
Pay for longer essays is $1/word but can go up depending on the piece.
Pay for features, both in print and online, is $1.50/word. Feature packages equivalent to a six-page story in print start at a $2,500 project fee and rise from there.
