Pitches wanted (party, etc.) | $1.50 to $2 per word

[This opportunity was posted 30+ days ago and has expired.]

PITCH CALL:  Got a feature you've been itching to write? We are seeking feature proposals for the December issue. The theme's PARTY (but we'll consider other topics for a great story). Party can be widely interpreted.

Pay rate: $1.50-$2/word. Pitch deadline: Aug 11. We are also literally always on the hunt for timely, original, must-read stories of relevance to young women. She's happy to consider proposals on any subject matter.

What are we looking for exactly? We're prioritizing pitches for these kinds of reported stories:

• Deep-dive reported narratives. Very much on the hunt for audacious, multilayered, journalistic reads that chronicle real-life series of events, with human sources driving the action forward. STORY stories, y’know? An eternal challenge and a top priority.
• Investigative projects: If you’re a seasoned longform journalist with a lead on a possible exposé or bombshell exclusive, but you need support to determine whether there’s enough “there” there, let’s talk about ways we might facilitate your reporting.
• Unorthodox stories and formats that defy succinct summary. Open to invention!
• Culturally significant trend pieces … with the caveat that every trend story is a gross sweaty race to be first. (If the trend seems so visible and ripe for the picking that another outlet could easily grab it, it’s probably a pass for our long-lead print pages.)

We are NOT looking for pitches for/on:

• photo essays or profiles.
• first-person writing, cultural commentary, topic-driven guides or explainers, or advice-driven articles.

If we pass on your pitch, please know it's not a statement on your talent and don't let that discourage you from pitching elsewhere...or, if you receive feedback, fine tuning and pitching later. (If we receive a TON of replies, it'll be difficult to give everyone feedback.)
