How to pitch
Email pitch
Email a pitch to [email available after sign-in]. Pitch a story, not a topic: keep the pitch concise and give it a hook, explain why the story is relevant and timely, and say why you are suited to write it. Review the site first so the piece is a good fit and not a repeat of a recent angle, and mention potential sources, interviewees, or subject-matter expertise. Typical articles run 750 to 2,500 words across formats including first-person "We Stood Up" stories, reported articles and analysis (750 to 1,500 words), and long-form thought leadership (1,500 to 2,500 words). The site does not accept press releases or self-promotion or marketing pieces.
