Business Insider covers business, personal finance, tech, lifestyle, politics, and more. Their editor is seeking fresh pitches. They welcome first-person essays. Here's what's on their wish list right now:

“- Holidays. They're coming whether we're ready or not. I want new takes, not the same stories we've all read every December.

- Parenting in the US vs. another country. You need to have actually raised kids in both. Tell me what surprised you, what you miss, what you'd never go back to.

- Family travel. The trip your kids loved, and you hated. The one you were sure would be a disaster but turned out to be the best one yet.

- Soft retirement. Easing out instead of stopping cold. How you're doing it and what it looks like day to day.

- Leaning out. You stepped back on purpose. What did you give up, what did you get back?

- Multigenerational life. Living under one roof, vacationing with three generations, all of it.”

If interested, send your pitches to cpreti@businessinsider.com. The editor hasn’t mentioned the rates but according to a post by their lifestyle and entertainment editor, their rates usually begin at about $240 for 600 words. For more details, refer to this post.
