Freethink covers the collision of technology, business and society. And we do it in a way that's curious, thoughtful, open and constructive. Learn more about our ethos here. 

We’re always looking for original feature ideas about transformative trends and innovations, including interviews with high-profile industry leaders, thinkers, entrepreneurs, and scientists. 

You can use this form to submit pitches or reach out to us with questions at pitches@freethink.com.

Our beats include:

• Artificial Intelligence
• Biotech
• The Changing World Order
• Consumer Tech
• The Digital Frontier
• Energy
• Materials

Types of features Freethink would publish include:

• Ideas, products, or innovations that could transform an entire industry or field.

• Interviews with (or profiles of) people having an impact in tech, business, and applied science.

• High-level explanations of big challenges and major trends within Freethink’s beats, with expert insights on potential solutions and future trends.

Here’s a few things we are not looking for in freelance submissions:

• Stories exclusively about a single study (“New study says X and Y. The end”).

• Marginal advances in established fields (“Tweaked drug improves secondary endpoint by 10%”).

• Puff pieces, clickbait, or aggregated “content.”
