Pitches wanted (Bay Area environment, nature, conservation, etc.) | 20 cents to $1 per word

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: BAY NATURE

Bay Nature has a new pitch form! As always, we're looking for well-researched content about nature in the San Francisco Bay Area. No deadline for general pitch calls, as we publish regularly.

We welcome proposals for San Francisco Bay Area-based stories about:

• Environmental science
• Species and habitat
• Conservation issues
• People working with nature
• Environmental justice

We've covered many topics over the past 21 years. Before pitching us, please research whether and how we may have already written about your idea. Bay Nature is an independent, nonprofit publication. Our freelance rates reflect this, ranging from $0.20 to $1 a word based on your level of experience as a reporter and the complexity of reporting required. We do not pay writers for op-eds.
