Freelance Opportunities for Freelancers Like Me - Jan 15, 2024

Orion Magazine is looking for Pitches for environments of film and television: We're excited to read your pitches for essays on the environments of film and television. Send us your story ideas about the viewing experiences that sharpened your view of nature — watching climate disasters in blockbuster movies, inhabiting the landscapes of the drive-in, or researching the carbon footprint of streaming. Please note that we are looking for nonfiction pitches, not full stories. Please try to keep pitches to 500 words or so. And in general, we’re not able to consider submissions for poetry, fiction, or AI-assisted works at this time, even during an open pitch window. [Deadline: January 15 11:59PM] https://orionmagazine.org/submission-guidelines/ [info copied and pasted from: https://orion.submittable.com/submit/282861/pitches-for-environments-of-film-and-television]
