Chris Hatler (he/him) @chris_hatler: Attention features writers! I'm on the hunt for long-form @MensJournal stories. Think inspiring as-told-to adventures, pricey whiskey or luxury watch true crime capers, in-depth reported health stories, or compelling narratives that our audience will wanna read. I'm looking for fleshed-out stories, not vague ideas. That means a narrative with compelling characters who experience tension or conflict, that in the end reveal something surprising or impactful to our readers. For inspiration: https://mensjournal.com/entertainment/the-must-read-best-mens-journal-stories-of-the-decade… Rates are dependent on writer experience and scope of the project. If the story can't be summed up in a strong hed/dek, it's probably not for us. Send an email to chris.hatler@thearenagroup.net with PITCH: [Your headline here] in the subject line. Due to the overwhelming amount of emails I receive, I unfortunately won't be able to consider every pitch I get. But I will try my very best to at least respond. [via DMs: features rate can range from $1000 to $2000 depending on writer experience and scope of the project]
