This is my regular callout for pitches for the Globe and Mail's business opinion section. Pitch me at [email protected]. For reference, these are the pieces that have run in my section: www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com....

Are you a laid-off journalist? These publications want to pay you!! www.findfreelanceopportunities.com/p/2026-paid-...

Washington Post is shuttering its book section, part of the ongoing war against literacy & knowledge. We at Current Affairs want to pick up the slack by expanding book reviews. Writers: pitch us anytime! And if you subscribe/donate we'll use the funding to commission book coverage.

I'm raising money for my indie business publication because I want to surface more stories from solopreneurs and microbusinesses that the mainstream media doesn't care about. These funds go to guest contributors, site development/hosting and newsletter ads. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVJ_...

What kind of freelance work are you looking for right now?

I've clarified the distinction between articles and essays somewhat in our submission guidelines. Please pitch us! www.liberalcurrents.com/submission-g...

Trotters is launching in 2026 – and we need travel writers. Please send pitches to [email protected] (rates and other info below). The focus is on interesting, funny, unusual writing, rather than hotel, museum and cocktail bar recommendations.

I have only received 1 pitch so far which I've accepted. Still looking for another. Help an indie publisher out! Pitch me your story. Rate is $200 per post. If the Black History Month angle doesn't fit your pitch, pitch me for March!

It’s pretty hard for an indie publisher like me to get pitches but I pay the same rate as Business Insider, Eater, and a bunch of other publishers but I mostly receive spam or low quality pitches. Pitch me please! (Via the page i am linking which has very clear instructions)

Environmental reporting is under pressure — just as biodiversity loss and climate impacts accelerate. Mongabay’s Y. Eva Tan Conservation Reporting Fellowship supports early-career journalists from tropical countries with paid mentorship & publishing support. Apply Dec. 15–Feb. 1: buff.ly/oARaICG.

I did not enjoy writing this; it can't even serve as an ad for my newsletter, which I've suspended due to an overbilling situation that has me almost regretting leaving Substack. But, you know, it's evidence for the piece I just didn't get to include. talkingpointsmemo.com/tpm-25/patro...

🚨 JOB OPPORTUNITY ALERT 🚨 HIRING: South Asia Managing Editor 📍Remote role – South Asia ⌛ Deadline: 3rd November 2025. 🔗 : https://loom.ly/tX7bMl0

A periodic reminder that while this is a free country, and you can pitch me however you like, the best avenue is my Globe and Mail email, [email protected]. That is because only my Globe email will have an out-of-office response if I'm not around.

1. If you want indie journalism, you gotta pay for it. 2. Paywalls work. I resisted using a paywall for a long time until I realized I had to if I wanted to pay my bills. 3. Journalism is a public good that doesn't exist without public support. Keep it out of billionaire hands with a paid sub.

Want to note here as well that while we have not paid OURSELVES, we have paid freelance writers and artists industry-standard rates, which is very important to us both as an organization, and as current/former freelancers who believe in independent media.
