We are seeking feature proposals for the November print issue. Theme is COMEBACKS, but whatever—all good ideas welcome. Pay rate: $1.50-$2/word. Pitch deadline: July 8. Additional guidelines below to conserve your time and energy:

Our most urgent need: 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.

ALSO SEEKING:

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.

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.)

Non-celeb profiles: studies of fascinating figures who are making waves in some corner of the universe. Most interested in profiles with a timely aspect that take the audience beyond what is publicly known about the person.

Photo essays: If you’re a freelance photojournalist who recently shot an event, subculture, whatever that feels noteworthy, (and you haven’t published the pictures in a major outlet), let’s chat. We occasionally develop reported pieces around compelling news photography.

Unorthodox stories and formats that defy succinct summary. Open to invention!

Please note that I do not have a home for servicey how-to articles, first-person essays, or topic-driven explainers at this time.
