Folks is a digital magazine focused on “telling the stories of remarkable people who refuse to be defined by their health issues.”

They are funded by PillPack, a “full-service pharmacy that sorts your medication by the dose and delivers to your door.”

Folks publishes personal essays about having a health condition.

They pay $400 for exclusive one year rights.

They accept pitches as well as finished essays, though all submissions should contain a strong summary of your proposed article.

They don’t accept previously published writing.

Examples of previously published articles include topics such as,

• How Birdwatching Helps Save Me From Chronic Pain
