Pitches Wanted (Parenting) | $250+ per article

Erin Donnelly, Parenting Editor at Yahoo Life, is looking for pitches: I’m now parenting editor at Yahoo Life, and am looking to work with freelance writers who specialize in parenting reporting. Along with expert explainers, I’d like to see first-person essays and reporting covering a range of diverse perspectives (families in marginalized communities, single/solo parents, disabled parents, foster parents, etc.). I am also keen to hear about the latest zeitgeisty parenting trend or bizarre TikTok phenomenon: https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/baby-name-consultants-tiktok-224750206.html; Or a deep dive into why kid's stuff is all now "sad beige": https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/sad-beige-baby-trend-171528023.html Our rates start at $250. Please email erin.donnelly@yahooinc.com with a brief bio and a 3-4 links to relevant clips. Do not send work on spec; a short description with details of what sort of sources you'll include will do. Please understand that I may not be able to respond to every pitch. If it's been a week and you haven't heard back, give me a nudge. After that, it's safe to say the piece is not a fit or we may already have that topic covered or in the works. Finally: Due to my Sunday to Thursday work schedule, the best days to pitch are Monday-midday Thursday.
