Freelance Opportunities for Freelancers Like Me - Dec 30, 2024 Edition

Condé Nast

Condé Nast Traveler is looking for freelance travel writers with experience with Punta Cana or Puerto Vallarta hotels ($.50/word)

MIT Technology Review is accepting pitches ($1 - $2/word). 

MIT Technology Review welcomes pitches from freelance writers across a broad range of topics. We encourage writers of all skill levels, and from all backgrounds, to pitch us. We are especially interested in hearing from writers with backgrounds that are traditionally under-represented in technology and science journalism, and from outside the United States. 

This guide will give you a brief overview of the kinds of stories we run, what we’re looking for in a pitch, and who to contact when you have an idea. 

Most of the stories that MIT Technology Review commissions come from pitches, but we do reach out to writers with assignments. We also issue a bi-monthly call for pitches for the print magazine. If you’d like to be considered for assignments and be informed of calls for pitches, you can fill out this form to be added to our database of freelance journalists.

Canadian Geographic

Canadian Geographic is accepting pitches. We believe that the best indication of what we are looking for can be found in back issues of the magazine itself. It’s important to be familiar with our magazine, its content, architecture, audience and tone before pitching. Always send us your ideas in writing. You can email your query to editor@canadiangeographic.ca.

CALL FOR WRITERS! ✍🏼

I'm hoping to add a few new freelance writers to our bench at Utah Business before the end of the year. We're seeking talented writers who are curious about Utah's business landscape and ready to tell compelling stories about our state's most innovative companies and leaders.

What we offer:
• A rate of $0.40/word
• Bylined articles for your portfolio
• Opportunities to cover Utah's dynamic business scene
• Editorial mentorship and support

Business writing experience is a plus, but we value strong writing skills above all. If you're a skilled storyteller eager to learn business journalism, we'll provide the guidance you need. Utah-based writers are strongly preferred.
