Pitches wanted (gender, power) | $200+ per piece

[This opportunity was posted 30+ days ago and has expired.]

Call for pitches: I’m helping my friends commission stories for their new publication on gender and power. More details on exactly what we’re looking for in our pitch guide below. 

Our rates for stories start at $200 and the majority of commissioned stories hit the 700-word mark unless otherwise specified. Hit me up with your story ideas.

We are a new social universe built first for women and non-binary people. We're currently looking for stories that cover the intersection of gender and power across verticals like technology, health, finance, relationships and culture. We're also looking for stories that examine the candid conversations that we have with each other—about friendships, birth control, toxic masculinity, burnout, harassment, chronic pain, big career moves, enthralling books, and everything in between. Every piece of content should convey our core ethos: Knowledge is power, so we’re passing it on.

HERE’S THE TYPE OF STORIES WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

• Conversations with subject-matter experts. We publish interviews (Q&A style) with interesting folks that cover the “things we don’t talk about,” meaning the topics that are reserved to whisper networks or challenge existing power structures.
• “Reconsider this” explainers. These cover the “things we’re not taught” when it comes to the gendered aspects of the world (i.e. wedding traditions, birth control, financial topics, etc.). These can take shape in multiple formats, including personal essays and reported stories.
• Long-form essays that respond to the news. What current events should we reexamine? (i.e. Soccer’s underbelly of misogyny when the World Cup was happening).

Our voice is smart but conversational—we’re a knowledge-sharing platform after all. Our community is 20,000 members strong with an audience of mostly women and non-binary people age 18-34 years old.
