JoAnna Haugen, Editor at Resonate, is looking for pitches: I am accepting pitches for 5 verticals at soon-to-launch online travel pub. Pay is €100-€150. I am very interested in receiving pitches from people in under-represented parts of the world and don't consider themselves professional writers. Here is our pitch guidelines: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PFlTr9aY8ctIaPxAxXgWp1Upm4tDlUQQ6TryjY1-dSg/edit
We are very intentional in the stories we accept. Before pitching, please consider the following:
This is a travel storytelling platform, and we only publish stories about places that are meant to be visited. If you are uncomfortable with sharing your story with potential travelers, it is not the right story for Resonate.
Stories should not be influenced by external forces. Please disclose any conflicts of interest, including whether your story was in any way compensated or supported with a press trip.
Traditional travel writing has encouraged and rewarded parachute journalists sharing stories that weren’t rightly theirs to share. When crafting article pitches, ask yourself the following questions:Is it appropriate for me to write this story? Is this someone else’s story to share?
How does this destination and/or community benefit in a holistic way from this story?
Are travelers welcome in this community?
We encourage people who don’t consider themselves to be professional writers to reach out. We are open to working with and coaching passionate storytellers from around the world. Send an article pitch clearly outlining your idea and clarifying what section your article fits in. Do not send completed manuscripts. Contact the editor at content@ethicaltravelportal.com.
