According to their website:<\/p>\n

The late Anthony Bourdain was our first and only investor, our spirit animal, our guide to so many things.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They accept pitches directly from freelance writers.<\/p>\n

They want concise pitches, that “summarize in a paragraph what the story is about and the character(s) driving it.” Also, be sure to specify the section of their site your article could be published in.<\/p>\n

(As Ian Chandler teaches in The No B.S. Course on Freelance Writing<\/a>, concise pitches are almost always the way to go, even if they’re not specifically asked for.)<\/p>\n

The payment rate varies quite a bit. They have city guides, newsy articles, mini-features, and “breakfast posts.” For writers looking to write in-depth, longform content, they have a series called Dispatched by Bourdain.<\/p>\n

They pay $25 for a breakfast post, $150 for a basic feature and $1,000 and up for an in-depth longform for their Dispatched series. To find out more, visit this page<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
