Pitches Wanted (Politics, Justice, Policymaking, etc.) | $800+ per article

Daniel Nichanian, Editor-in-Chief of Bolts Mag, is looking for pitches: We've finally put together a guide for how to pitch us at Bolts Mag, and the sort of stories we're interested in: https://boltsmag.org/pitch-us. We really want to hear from you and your ideas, and we hope this makes it easier to do that.

Bolts is always seeking to work with freelancers to report on critical voting rights and criminal justice stories across the country. We encourage pitches that fit our mission to grow coverage of the local and state politics, elections, policymaking, and organizing that shape these issues—think of county prosecutors and sheriffs, secretaries of state and local election administrators, state legislators, municipal officials, and the activism brewing around them. Most of the stories we publish involve original reporting; the default rate we offer for a story with original reporting is $800. For stories that will be longer, take longer, or demand more work than our default assignment, an editor may offer a higher rate that reflects that larger scope.
