I'll be working with staff and freelance writers to tell deeply reported and beautifully crafted long form stories about the world around us.

If you have ideas for ambitious, thought-provoking, forward-thinking, incisive, funny, inspiring stories about the science and technology (and people!) shaping our world, my email is in my bio. We also have a great guide on the pitch process here: wired.com/about/how-to-p… (Side note: I try my best to respond to every writer who emails me in a reasonable timeframe, but sometimes life happens and the inbox implodes. If you don’t hear from me in a week, follow up! This does not apply to PR pitches, btw.)...[long-form project fees vary based on "story length, time involved, and intensity of the reporting and writing involved. These story fees now start at about $2,500 and rise from there. Other short, online-only content starts at $250 and rises with time commitment and reporting intensity."]
