Want to pitch a parenting or family feature but you’re not sure where to send it?

Good news! Today I’m sharing an up-to-date list of publications that pay for parenting and family features. Some even pay as much as $1-$2/word.

I've included lots of information on pay rates, editorial guidelines, and submission links. Everything you need to pitch your latest ideas and earn that next commission!

Never written about parenting or family before? That’s okay. Everyone has a family, whether it’s the one you were born into, the one you chose, or the one you’ve built. We all carry stories about our parents, our children, or the families of people around us.

This collection is broad enough that just reading through might spark your next idea.

If you have insights into specific pay rates, or if you've been offered different terms than those listed here, please let me know by replying to this email or by messaging me on Substack.
