From Eliza Anyangwe, Managing Editor of The Correspondent:
Calling freelance writers the world over!
I've revamped our pitching guidelines to give insight, examples and rates. Use the form:
I'm still but one woman, with a diary full of meetings. Won't be fast but if I like your pitch I promise to brim with excitement.
THEMES WE'RE ESPECIALLY INTERESTED IN:
- money, trade and global financial systems
- work lives, workplaces and work practices
- culture, media, spirituality = all the sources of myth and meaning-making for humans, not necessarily all at the same time
- Biodiversity and stories about non-human life
- Migrations, land, borders and states / statehood
- The information frontier and the digital world
- Wealth and inequality
- Climate solutions, climate economy
- Modern lives and modern love
- Food and farming
- Waste—all the ways of interpreting that
WHAT ARE OUR RATES?
Our lineage (rate per word) at The Correspondent is US$0.40. That means for 1,500 you’d get $600, and for 2,500 you’d get $1,000. If you are going to wildly surpass the agreed word count, best have a chat with the editor first!
For special projects, where a journalist works with us for up to three months, we pay a monthly wage. When we commission photography, illustration or other visual formats, we pay you for your time, rather than for the number of images used, so that is decided in conversation with Lise Straatsma.
