With over 175 years of helping people take care of their health and wellbeing, Boots UK Health Hub is a trusted source of information and support for millions of people across the UK. Right now, we’re looking for experienced writers to help develop our condition pages”.
Monocle: Writers (via Sara Bures): “Call for pitches ✍ Monocle.com is looking for global stories on international affairs, urbanism, entrepreneurship, culture, design, fashion and hospitality. Our tone is considered and solution-oriented: we’re interested in benchmarks, best practices and stories that resonate beyond the place they’re reported”.
Drugwatch: Writers/Reporters/Editors (via Michael Santiago): “I’m looking to connect with experienced reporters and editors from major national and industry media outlets who are open to freelance writing or editorial work with Drugwatch. This is specifically for journalists who currently write or edit for outlets such as ABC News, Bloomberg, Reuters, CNN, NPR, The New York Times, Politico, ProPublica, The Guardian, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and other major national publications”.
Playboy: Writers: “We’ve been on a journey over here at Playboy for the past few months, and are officially looking to expand our coverage on Playboy.com, our fast-growing Substack, and Playboy’s social handles, to deliver content to our majority male audience. Playboy is best known as the publication where sex meets culture—but we’re also a home for the world’s rebels, tastemakers, and provocateurs.
Here’s a sample of what we’re looking for:
📽️ CULTURE: Music, movies, television, art, erotica, and sit-down interviews.
👔 LIFESTYLE: Fashion (profiles, curated market and guides), grooming, features.
💰 WORK & FINANCE: Profiles, packages or series, trend pieces, columns.
🍷 FOOD & DRINK: Profiles, guides, trend pieces/spotlights, features.
I prefer to receive all pitches as a proposed headline followed by the “elevator pitch” (1-3 sentence spiel), accompanied by three or more clips of your work. Our rates vary from around $250—$1,000 on
