Pitches (Fashion, Beauty, Celebrity Style, Entertainment, Teen Issues)

Teen Vogue is accepting both reported and op-ed pitches across our four sections – Culture, Identity, Style, and Politics. Here is a breakdown of the types of stories we’re looking for, as well as previous examples and contact information for our editors.
Formatting Your Pitch

Here are some general tips for submitting an effective pitch.

Grab our attention by formatting your subject line as a headline. Ex. Pitch: Young People are Uniting to Fight Atlanta’s ‘Cop City’
Note: If your pitch is timely, add the word “Timely” to the beginning of your subject line so we know to take a look sooner than later. Keep in mind, we receive a ton of pitches and it’s impossible for us to respond to them all if they’re not a good fit.
A successful pitch will include a few clear sentences on the story you hope to tell, a general idea of the sources you’ll include and the access you have to them, and information on why your pitch is unique — how is this angle different from what’s already out there and relevant to Teen Vogue’s audience?
Tip: Want to make sure you have a strong pitch? Consider writing your nut graph as you’re working through your pitch.
Tell us why you’re the best person to write this story. Your pitch email should include a brief bio (one to two sentences). Be sure to mention why you’re an expert or have a unique personal experience, and add links to similar work that showcases why you’re the best person to write this story.
