Journalists: We’d love to have you write for us!

Greater Greater Washington has been working toward more understanding, and a bigger and better public conversation about equity, sustainability, and our entire wider region including Maryland and Virginia. In the last year, we’ve particularly been able to take deep dives into Tysons, Baltimore, and Richmond and urban sustainability.

We have fellows and correspondents working on these areas, but would like to supplement them. We’re therefore looking for freelancers in our community to write paid stories, from about 600 to 1,500 words or more, which help explain or educate people about the dynamics of the built environment and how public policy is changing it.

We’re looking right now for pitches on one of these four “beats”:

• Urban resilience relating to environmental sustainability and equity (some recent examples from our fellows last year, Meena and Will)
• The transformation of Tysons from sprawling edge city to walkable urban place (past articles here)
• Transportation in Baltimore or statewide (not specific to one region) transportation issues in Maryland
• Transportation in Richmond or statewide (not specific to one region) transportation issues in Virginia

Our current rate is $125-300 per article depending on length.

Interested writers should send a resume and 1-3 brief pitches (about one sentence each) to freelance@ggwash.org. We will invite more detailed pitches from writers based on this information.
