Dear Writers,<\/p>\n

Here’s our latest roundup of calls for pitches, directly from editors.<\/p>\n

Please do not contact any of these editors without carefully studying their publication to make sure that you’re sending a pitch that closely fits their needs. If too many people send bad pitches, editors are likely to no longer openly solicit pitches. So, please do your part and only contact an editor after doing your due diligence.<\/p>\n

If you’re not sure how to write a good pitch, read this.<\/a><\/p>\n
