Pitch Calls
Broccoli has opened their pitch call for Catnip Volume 2. “Ask a cat, and they’ll tell you: any time is the right time for more catnip. And here at Broccoli, we’re listening. It’s time to make Volume 2 of Catnip—our joyful, sweet, sometimes silly but always smart celebration of all things cat—and we’re looking for your cat tales.” $0.50/word, deadline February 26th.
Conz at BI is looking for essays from parents on the topic of their kids misbehaving. Do you feel bad about it? Do you feel like you did your job, and it's on them? Somewhere in between? Generally pays around $230.
Conz is also looking for pitches from parents who had kids in 2016ish and only have baby photos of their kids with filters — you know, the puppy ears filter, or the rosy cheeks one. Open to whether you love them, regret only taking photos with filters, wish you had taken more, etc. Same rates as above.
Are you estranged from family? Do you have a story to tell about it? Jenny Bartoy, editor of the anthology NO CONTACT, forthcoming from Catapult (April 2026), is seeking personal essays and flash nonfiction around this topic. Full guidelines here. All contributors will be paid a fee (minimum $50 flash nonfiction / $100 essay). Deadline April 1st.
Patrick is looking for writers to pitch to him about politics. “Profiles, scene dispatches, narrative reconstructions, unobserved trends, and always investigations — send them all my way! (If you’ve got a straight opinion take essay, I’m not your guy.)” Rates vary based on the amount of work a project requires.
