Looking for *experienced* poker writers to write SEO-based commercial and informational content in a fully-remote, freelance role.

Feel free to give me a shout. Will likely start fairly quickly.

Hello #freelance writers! As we look to fill out our editorial calendar through the rest of the year, I am once again humbling requesting your @Thrillist pitches for travel stories. These can be sent to pitches@thrillist.com.

Stories about traveling are some of the oldest tales in human history, and we’re looking for the next generation of travel writers. 

We seek first-hand travel stories and bizarre yet captivating stories about your adventures. We are also open to breaking news articles from the travel industry and the changing tides that affect travelers around the world. 

Please read through all of the rules and guides below. If you’re pitching for a special project, please state that in your pitch form below as well. 

Rules

Please only submit one idea per Google Form entry. 

Mention any sources (including any interviews) you would potentially use in this article, especially any first-hand experience.

Please include a bit about your writing and travel background. We want to know why you’re qualified to tell this story specifically.

We are open to listicles, but please keep the number below 10 items and have detailed paragraphs for each bullet point. 

Please don’t pitch us completed articles but instead ideas and plans. 

How to Pitch:

Please fill out the form below with as much information as possible about your story and pitch. We will review the pitches each week, and will attempt to respond to most pitches, but please note that due to volume, we may not be able to respond to all of them. 

If your pitch is accepted, an editor will reach out to you to discuss the details of your pitch and the expected timeline of your article. 

Rates:

Starting rates are around $250 for 700 to 900-word articles.

Special Projects:

Like a Local

Who knows a city better than the locals? We’re looking for articles and stories about the best of the best in your city or location. If you were to plan an entire itinerary for your friends who have never been to the city, where would you take them? What bars and restaurants would you bring them to? What are your can’t-miss stops?

Budget Travel

Are you the master at scoring cheap vacations and trips? Do you have secret strategies that others should know about before they hop on their next flight? We want you to share your budget travel expertise with us and our readers so everyone can be as savvy as you!

Travel Mistakes 

We all learn from our mistakes, right? How about letting other travelers learn from your own? From missing flights to unexpected baggage fees to booking the wrong rental car, we’ve all made traveling mistakes that we’ve gleaned wisdom from and were able to never repeat. Let your mistakes be a cautionary tale for someone else.

Timely Stories

We’re also looking for any story related to an upcoming holiday, event, or timely situation. For example, leaf peeping in the fall, holiday lights in the winter, and the best locations to spot the Northern Lights! 

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.
