Are you a writer?
We’re always on the lookout for beautiful content and storytelling across the GCC and beyond. Before you pitch, please read the following guidelines.
- Pitch stories and angles, not destinations (i.e., please avoid the “I’m going to [TK place], need anything?” route).
- Check if we’ve covered the story and/or destination previously. If so, why are you revisiting it? Is there a new angle?
- Have other publications written about this angle? If so, how will your story be different?
- If you’re pitching a personality, please include whether the story is an exclusive, and whether you already have access.
- Consider if you are the best person to tell a specific story, especially if it’s about a marginalized community of which you are not a member. If so, please tell us why you’re the one to write the piece and which voices you’ll include.
- Disclose if your trip was sponsored in any way. We do not provide assignment letters for freelancers on group press trips. Trips can be pitched after the fact, with clear disclosure of the nature of the trip and the sponsorship.
