Do you want to write about the future of cities for @techreview? Where are we headed, and what role will technology play? Send pitches to amy.nordrum@technologyreview.com (or DMs are open), I’d love to hear your ideas!
Do I know any amazing journos who know #Hawaii or #TelAviv inside out? #journorequest#travelwriter#amcommissioning
Calling All Travel People! We @dkeyewitness folk are looking for #Amsterdam based writers who know all the hipster spots and hangouts (think: vegan cafes, craft breweries, comedy clubs). We've got a seriously cool title in the works. Can you help?
(Evergreen): I commission original articles + deep-dives about world cinema, drama and docs (on SBS) from Aus-based writers. Always keen to add to the roster, *especially* critics from diverse backgrounds. Pitch well and pitch often, and there's an opp. for steady freelance work.
I continue to look for reliable, innovative and experienced freelancers for news and contributions in Latin America, especially in Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Guatemala, Belize and Panama, Ecuador, Paraguay and Uruguay.
Travel writers - I am open for pitches for destination-led green/sustainable travel features! Ideally you'd be based there, but will also accept pitches if you know the destination really well. Email pitches to helen.coffey@independent.co.uk rather than messaging on Twitter 1/2
Overachiever Magazine We are now accepting submissions for the February I Issue! Check out our suggested topics or pitch your own piece. Make sure to send it to overachievermagazine@gmail.com by February 11th!
@loratliff Looking for writers from/familiar with Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio, West Virginia, and North Dakota for a simple @TripSavvy assignment! $75 for ~150 words and I'll provide a brief! Email in bio.
