National Geographic’s editor is looking for pitches: “As always, I’m open to health pitches that challenge what we think we know. Surprise me with strong science, a clear ‘why now,’ and fresh reporting. If it makes readers see their bodies or the world differently, lmk.”

They’re interested in the following:

- “A new or newly synthesized body of research”

- “A smart angle on a long-running scientific debate”

- “A study that complicates conventional wisdom”

Pay is around $1 per word. If interested, send your pitches to starlight.williams@natgeo.com. To read their editor’s post, click here. To visit their website, click here.
