I’m looking for narrative feature pitches for Slate Magazine! I joined Slate this January with a mandate to bring in longform, and in the time since, I’ve edited a true crime yarn with a major third-act twist, an investigation into the radicalization of Southern grandmas in a deep-red Alabama, the Lindy West profile heard round the internet, a hilarious, thoughtful report on the rise of penis injections, and more. (These, and more from my brilliant colleagues, here: https://lnkd.in/e_4uKY5B.) These stories are, as you can see, extremely different!! But they have the same baseline: A good Slate feature takes readers on a ride, challenges their assumptions, and needs at least 3000 words to be told right. It's also, crucially, fun. Slate's a good place for an idea that's too voicey to work anywhere else, that's still supported by rigorous reporting. First-person welcome, white-whale ideas encouraged. Pitch me (not in the Linkedin DMs please!) at leah.prinzivalli@slate.com.
hiii, just shared this on jobs.themincave.com and everyone in our community got a ping to check it out. hope you find exactly who you need! ☀️
Too voicey to work anywhere else, you say? 👀
still pretty proud of this one- something I penned running up to the 50th anniversary the release of Taxi Driver: https://russwinfrey.substack.com/p/rewatching-taxi-driver-in-the-age
I'm about to pitch you - and the subject line is going to be a bit shocking, so just warning you now.
Is there a baseline rate or range attached to this role that you’d be open to sharing? I run remotewritingjobs.org and prioritize fair and transparent pay information when considering opportunities for inclusion in the directory.
Ms. Prinzivalli, Thanks for an honest shot. Knew you were serious when you gave work email. No anonymous forms to fill out, just an opportunity to send honest pitches.
I love “too voicey” as the criteria
I shall email as well
Just sent you a pitch that I hope gets your attention. Thanks for the call out!
Cool! Possible to share rate info?
