Black writers: I'm looking for pitches. Our publication is focused on the Black family, not just parenting and parents. I'm looking for original reporting, fresh ideas, and Blackity Black perspectives.
Rates for reported essays, entertainment roundups, how-tos/explainers/guides sit around $250 and $400 for reported features. Note that I am not looking for nonreported straight essays—only essays that take a personal narrative and use it to put a lens on a wider issue or topic.
Here's how to pitch me below. Please read before you pitch.
- First, give me the working headline in the subject line. Be sure to lead with PITCH and a colon first so your email doesn’t get buried.
- I love to see how writers are gonna write. Give me a bit of that in the first couple of sentences. Feeling fancy? Write the first couple of sentences as the lede of the piece you’re proposing.
- Next, what are you going to report on? Make sure it’s also clear here why this story you’re proposing is important. What’s the takeaway?
- How are you going to tackle the reporting? Link me to a study, tell me what type of sources you have in mind, etc.
- Now, I got this far, so I want to know about you! Who are you and what have you done before? Give me the receipts! Clips or website/portfolio, please.
Can writers outside the US pitch? Yes.
