Pitches wanted (North Carolina) | $1+ per word
Added 2021-10-13 23:57:41 +0000 UTCCOMPANY/PUBLICATION: THE ASSEMBLY
The Assembly’s writing and photography stable is entirely freelance. We’d love for you to be part of it.
We primarily run two types of articles:
Longform narrative stories, ranging from 2,500 to 5,000 words and shortform ideas writing, ranging from 800 to 1,200 words.
We like stories about power. Who has it, what they’re doing with it, how they got it, and why it matters. That means institutional power, people power, cultural power. Put differently, we want writing about people, ideas, and institutions.
Ideal pieces are focused on North Carolina, but that doesn’t mean they can’t have broad implications beyond the state. We pay $1.00 per word for most stories. On some longform stories, depending on the depth of reporting needed and experience of the reporter, we pay more.
Reach us at pitch@theassemblync.com. Expect a response in 3-5 days and feel free to nudge us if you don’t hear from us. We’re open to co-placements; if you have one in mind, let us know.
If you have a tie to North Carolina — let us know! If you don’t, that’s not a deal breaker. But be ready to demonstrate how you’ll ensure your story is firmly rooted in the state.
