CALL FOR PITCHES: In the coming weeks, I'm looking to assign a few stories as part of a series on labor and an adapting Western workforce.
The goal of this project is to examine the nature of changing work in the Western US by profiling subjects whose jobs are adapting, emerging or fading.
The covid-19 pandemic, technology, emerging industries and a shifting energy regime have drastically morphed the labor force of the country —and particularly in the West. The series will capture a mosaic of such a central quality to Western life: work.
Each story should capture some element of change –whether in the work itself or in the environment in which the work is done. Profiles should feel unexpected, explore new angles and give new voice to under-covered jobs, communities and people.
I'll pay you well: Your pitch should be framed as a profile of a worker and the right scope to run between 800-1,000 words for a flat fee of $1,000.
The stories, though character-driven, should provide a window into a Western trend with regional implications or relevance.
If you've got an idea that you think can work, pitch me!
Putting a hard deadline for June 22 but will be reviewing and accepting on a rolling basis until then.
