The magazine is a quarterly print publication for readers living with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, family members and caregivers of people with diabetes, and anyone who has prediabetes or has a higher risk of developing diabetes. We are always looking for more voices to contribute to our magazine! Our stories are divided into three main categories:
- Service-oriented stories focused on health and behavior change. We cover a wide range of health topics in a way that can help our readers make changes in their own lives. We especially love working with writers who have a strong background knowledge of diabetes, behavior change, health coaching, diabetes education, and/or living with a chronic health condition and who can understand and empathize with the challenges of managing diabetes.
- Inspirational profiles and feature stories. We strive to highlight the many inspiring people in the diabetes community who are working hard to make changes for themselves and for others. We love working with writers who can bring these stories to life, write compelling profiles, and use storytelling to meaningfully explore important themes and topics. A background understanding of diabetes is helpful (and we are happy to provide some of that background info to new contributors).
- Recipes and cooking how-tos. Our food content can be summed up as nutritious meets accessible meets inexpensive. We run about 30-40 recipes per issue, as well as articles and how-tos centered around food. We encourage pitches related to food and nutrition in all of our departments. We also encourage recipe developers to pitch us recipe stories. One important note: all of our recipe development assignments include nutrition analysis, in order to ensure that all of our recipes meet our brand’s nutrition guidelines.
Please send all pitches to our Executive Editor. Please be sure to include the section you are pitching, how this story will benefit our readers, and who you plan to interview for the piece. Please also send 3-4 clips or a link to your portfolio if you have not worked with us before.
We pay competitive industry rates from $1 to $2 a word, depending on the section/department.
