75+ calls for journalism/writing pitches (February 10, 2025)
Share

I had a call last week with a former colleague at CNN, who I interviewed because despite being a software engineer, has built up over the last 20 years a very popular travel and culture blog. He’s not a writer, he’s not a photographer, but his blog is often referenced by people looking for lesser-known destinations. He’s even published a book based on one of his experiences. Take a look on YouTube here or listen to the podcast.

Calls for pitches below.

🖊️📃Looking for writers!

Hi friends,

As we begin another year with new projects and collaborations, I'd love to broaden our network of writers/freelancers.

Looking for those who have worked on and published people-centered stories on the interconnected themes of food, climate, nature, and livelihoods.

We work in English (though translate into other languages) so proficiency in writing in English is required.

That’s your lot if you’re a free subscriber - tip me a fiver to see dozens more calls below right now, and 300+ each month.

And read on if you’re already one of the hella awesome people who help me do this not just out of a masochistic sense of altruism.
