20 Pitch Calls from Paying Publications
Where to Pitch This Week (1.24.25) | Editor requests from Buzzfeed, MIT Technology Review, Trails Magazine, and more. Plus paid opps in trans+ history, personal essay, European news, and air fryers.
Hello, happy Friday, and welcome to Where to Pitch This Week!
Remember, you don’t need to ever write about political or news-related stuff if you don’t want to. If you have that desire, great! But if you have no interest in the US government and related stories, that’s 100% fine.
Editors still need all the stories. The light, the dark, the big, the silly. All of it is still in high demand.
