Refractor is a new magazine and they want pitches from science writers. Their editor’s pitch call says, “I'll be leading a new science and health publication called Refractor. It's a spin-off from New Atlas with a new editorial approach. We'll be launching very soon and as Founding Editor I'm calling out to all science writers keen to pitch. At this stage I'm open to a spectrum of stories, from short, focused news pieces to longer, exploratory features. Everything in the spectrum of science is fair game (biology, geology, history, psychology, space, medicine). Refractor will have no set house style but instead we're looking for unique, human voices. The northstar is a mix of journalistic rigour and compelling storytelling. Get in touch with me to chat about rates (they vary depending on scope) and ideas.” See the pitch call here.
