COMPANY/PUBLICATION: NEW HUMANIST 

Jessica Abrahams, Deputy Editor at New Humanist, is looking for pitches:

I am very excited to have started as deputy editor of New Humanist. Send pitches to jessica.abrahams@newhumanist.org.uk. We're interested in reportage, book reviews, philosophy, Big Ideas, and science. We are currently commissioning for the Autumn issue, which goes to press end of July. Features are typically £350 but it varies depending on the work involved.

Pitches should fall into our key coverage areas (science/tech, ethics, human rights, philosophy/ideas, freedoms, etc.). I'd love to see pitches from all parts of the world.

CONTACT INFORMATION (please do not share the email address publicly):

• Questions / submissions: jessica.abrahams@newhumanist.org.uk

TO HELP YOU CRAFT YOUR PITCH:

• Learn more about the publication: New Humanist is a quarterly magazine of culture and science, published by the Rationalist Association, a charity promoting rational inquiry and debate based on evidence rather than belief. New Humanist is for anyone who wants to understand the ideas, conflicts and systems shaping our world—climate, capitalism, technology, fundamentalism, struggles for equality and more. More information here.
• Read through its selection of recent articles/stories, categorized into: Culture, Science and Technology, Human Rights and Ethics, Ideas, Faith and Religion
• Review the submission guidelines here. Note that these are the publication's general guidelines to help you refine your pitch. You must still follow the editor's specific instructions above.
• Check out our collection of pitch excerpts on this page and find more sample pitches at The Open Notebook Database and at SuccessfulPitches.com.
• Do not forget to end your pitch with (1) a short introduction about yourself; (2) a few lines highlighting your writing experience, relevant credentials and publication credits; and (3) links to your strongest work or portfolio, and online profile.
