Category that describes your organization: Print publications with an affiliated website (aarp.org) 

Range of fees you pay your writers: $1-$2 word depending on the assignment 

Types of projects you typically assign:

• Service journalism related to the personal-finance concerns of Americans age 50 and older: Saving, spending, money management in retirement, estate planning, taxes, working.

Areas of expertise: Experience writing about money. 

Are you looking for pitches? Yes. Though I haven’t been able to use many of the pitches I’ve received at prior ASJA events, my feedback on your specific ideas may give you a better sense of what works for the publications. 

Additional info:

1. The most common problem with pitches that I receive is that, in the words of a former boss of mine, they are subjects, not stories. A pitch headlined “What to Tell Your Adult Children About Your Money” is a subject. “Why We Told Our College-Age Children About Our Money” is a story — and one that we ran in a recent issue.
2. It will be very helpful for both of us if, before we meet, you explore this folder. It includes a document I’ve written about money coverage in the publications, along with samples of stories that have run in the Bulletin & in AARP The Magazine. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/19gthXnZg6V1vIANN96BNP3I1wKKMp4Xg?usp=sharing

Category that describes your organization: Print magazine

Range of fees you pay your writers: We typically pay $.50 a word and up; we happily negotiate based on the workload of a given assignment.

Types of projects you typically assign: At Common Good, we make our award-winning magazine for people of faith who want to leverage their whole selves toward God’s mission in the world. That’s why we talk about all of life: work and the economy, church and community life, athletics and the arts. We’re a space for deep conversations, carefully told stories, and ideas that matter — all written with a spirit of humility and generosity.

Our print magazine runs feature-length pieces up to 5,000 words and occasionally beyond, but only a handful per issue. We also acquire articles at a range of lengths for the front and back of the book, from graphically driven 500-word explainers to 1,300-1,800-word reported pieces.

While we’re open on form (we’d consider pieces of the personal narrative kind), we’re inclined toward reported narrative essays and journalism, interviews, and researched stories. For us, reported pieces don’t necessarily mean hard news, but our expectation is that each piece expresses a broad understanding of its subject — to set context for arguments and counterarguments — and includes at least two or three meaningful sources, either via research or interviews

Areas of expertise: We’re currently looking for more writers with a demonstrated ability to approach a story journalistically. We’re also interested in connecting with writers who have specific expertise in covering economics, the arts, and sports.

Broadly speaking, the magazine covers topics related to living an integrated Christian life. This means that our work aligns with our publisher’s foundational beliefs (madetoflourish.org/foundational-beliefs). While that doesn’t mean every contributor agrees with each and every theological point, it does mean we don’t promote material contrary to these beliefs.

Are you looking for pitches? We are open to pitches that align with our criteria, and also to getting to know prospective writers. One way to stay notified when we are looking for writers for specific topics we’ve identified is to sign up for our call for pitches email list here: https://commongoodmagazine.substack.com/.

Longform enterprise: Stories that require at least five sources to be interviewed, as well as intense analysis and the use of several data points, which are not readily available and for which the reporter smartly uses investigative skills to find a unique way to tell a story that hasn’t been reported elsewhere; may exceed 2,000 words. RATES BEGIN AT $1,200

Types of projects you typically assign: We are looking for deep dives and standard features, as described above. While we are always on the hunt for longfrom enterprise told by freelance writers, we usually write these stories in house. To date, we have only commissioned one from a freelancer. Typically we are looking for stories that can be turned in 1 to 3 weeks

Areas of expertise: Straight Arrow News is a national news website that focuses on unbiased coverage. Our freelance pieces fall within our SAN Originals vertical, which you can find on the right rail of our website. These stories require original reporting, and can venture into solutions journalism, or highlight local issues that could be of interest to a national audience. We report on everything from immigration to space. If the story itself is interesting, and the reporting is revelatory, we’re not picky about which topic we’re covering. What we are picky about is producing highly engaging work that is fair, true and unbiased.

Are you looking for pitches? Yes, absolutely. Please see more details about what we’re looking for here: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/straightarrownews/jobs/4006731009

Category that describes your organization: Digital magazine covering food and drink across the American South; our flagship product is a daily newsletter

Range of fees you pay your writers: $1058.16 for a 1000-word feature

Types of projects you typically assign: At The Food Section, we serve eaters across the American South by providing them with the information and analysis they need to better understand and appreciate their food-and-drink experiences in our region. Or to put it another way: We break the news and tell the stories that make readers’ meals more meaningful. Those readers are a whip-smart bunch. The Food Section each weekday lands in the inboxes of thousands of high-profile food chroniclers and everyday eaters who crave new ideas and perspectives. They’re equally interested in the joys of dining and justice for those who make such pleasure possible. If you can answer a question on our subscribers’ minds—or, even better, coax them to question an aspect of culinary culture that they’d never previously considered—we want to hear from you.

Areas of expertise: We prefer to work with writers based in the Southeastern U.S.

Are you looking for pitches? For sure. https://forms.gle/CshBCghP9csL8VGB7 

Additional info: In terms of topics, the only real limitation is geographical. Just about every story has a food angle, but for The Food Section’s purposes, that story must unfold in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, or West Virginia (or the northernmost reaches of Florida, which The Food Section claimed because of its sunshine laws—which ought to tip you off that The Food Section is fond of stories with hard news hooks and corroborating data.) That said, a few types of stories aren’t appropriate for The Food Section. Foremost among them are stories which have already appeared elsewhere: Run a quick Google search to check whether your pitch is original.

In fact, even stories that could appear elsewhere are relatively suspect in The Food Section’s eyes: We’re not in the market for trend pieces without tension, restaurant write-ups that a publicist would be inclined to repost on Instagram, do-gooder profiles calculated to inspire, retrospectives that romanticize the past, or listicles that flatten the nuances of race, gender, class, and sexual orientation (i.e. “Meet eight great Asian-American chefs in Georgia!”) Also, The Food Section doesn’t run recipes. As for tone, The Food Section has taken on plenty of weighty topics, and prides itself on not shying away from challenging situations. But food is supposed to be fun: It’s OK to be playful in your approach, so long as you can maintain your authority. Good food journalism isn’t boring. And speaking of journalism: The Food Section upholds the highest journalistic standards, including in the realm of ethics. Please review the Association of Food Journalists’ ethics code before pitching to make sure you can comply with its standards. The Food Section will not publish any reporting based on press trips, free meals, or other comps.

Additionally, prospective contributors should disclose any potential conflicts of interest, including personal or professional relationships with their subjects. In keeping with the ethics code, contributors should strive to showcase a broad range of sources in their reporting. If you plan to consult with subject matter experts, make sure your contacts represent a variety of identities and lived experiences. The Food Section recognizes that many people interested in writing about food don’t have extensive journalism experience. If you’re concerned about your credentials or feel like you might need some help with reporting tactics, you should still pitch: What’s most important is your unique ability to tell the story you’ve uncovered and recognize why it matters now.

Category that describes your organization: Editorially independent online news site for neuroscientists

Range of fees you pay your writers: Pay starts at $1/word

Additional info: Our outlet is a trade publication for scientists, not the general public. The site covers all areas of neuroscience, with a special focus on basic research. Please look at the past coverage on our site to find out more about our content and voice. We expect articles to include at least three sources.

Storytelling at Williams is informed by the institutional priorities/content areas listed below. Not all are applicable to every story, and there’s no need to force any of them in. It’s helpful to have the list on hand as you think about an assignment or pitch. You can find out more about any Williams-specific programs (e.g., tutorials or Winter Study) using the search on our home page, www.williams.edu.
