Pitches Wanted (Entertainment, Pop Culture) (Worldwide) | ~25 to 30 cents per word

Jennifer M. Wood, Editor at Mental Floss, is looking for pitches: With 2023 approaching, I'm looking for new pitches and writers for freelance pieces for Mental Floss. Payments start at $75-$100 for short "news" posts (typically 250-300 words) and go up from there for lists and features. Note: I handle Entertainment (Movies, TV, Music) and Pop Culture, but you can read more about what kinds of stories we're looking for — and who to pitch — here: https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/625670/how-to-pitch-mental-floss Be sure to review the site to see the kinds of stories we publish — and what we don't publish (op-eds, essays, etc.). You can pitch specific ideas, or just let me know what topics you generally write about with links to published pieces. Email jmwood@mentalfloss.com. Open to international writers? Absolutely! We work with writers from all over the world.
