Cosmopolitan Features Director is Looking For Pitches

Erin Quinlan, Features Director of Cosmopolitan Posted:

"PITCH CALL, kinda last-minute! 😬🆘 For a spot in an upcoming Cosmo print issue, I’m looking to develop a sharp, timely ~2,000-word feature illuminating some aspect of MENTAL HEALTH. Pitch deadline: June 2. Per-word rate: $1.50-$2.00. Email in bio."

"Preference given to proposals for deeply reported narrative reads. Also open to incisive trend pieces. Pitches should add to the national conversation in a way that pertains to young women specifically."

"We’re aiming to commission the print piece by next week in hopes of receiving a completed draft by the third week of July, give or take. (I may also assign a few digital stories from this pitch batch! The long-lead print spot is just the most pressing priority rn.)"

"Kindly note that I do not have a home for service articles, first-person essays, or topic explainers at this time. Any Qs, please feel free reach out via email! Grateful for all the journos on this difficult beat. Thank you in advance for thinking of Cosmo."
