Pitches Wanted from Historians | $100 per article

Laura Ansler, Managing Editor of AHA Historians, is looking for pitches: The On Contract column at Perspectives on History is a place for historians in non-permanent jobs to write about their experiences. We are always accepting pitches for this section, for which writers are paid a $100 honorarium. We recommend that potential authors review articles on our Past Issues page, our submission guidelines, and our copyright policy. Among other topics, we are particularly interested in articles that put current events into historical context, such as “Colorizing Photos from the Past” and “On the Peaceful Transfer of Power.” Additionally, we are always looking for articles on teaching at any level, such as “Choose Your Professional Path,” “Middle Schoolers Take on Columbus,” or “Consider the Student View.” (For more info, visit our teaching article guidelines.) We also encourage submissions related to historians' professional experiences, such as “The Business of Applied History” and “Heterophobia?” Please send pitches to perspectives@historians.org. Include the word “pitch” and the topic in the subject heading. Read the complete submission guidelines here.
