The Telegraph is a multimedia news brand that covers news, politics, business, money, tech, sport, culture, travel, and more. The deputy head of a brand new desk at The Telegraph is looking for pitches:

“My name is Alex, I’m the deputy head of a brand new desk at The Telegraph, dedicated to the best personal essays, memoir and human interest stories.

I’m always on the lookout for interesting pitches!

I particularly love family saga stories. People reckoning with long buried secrets. Or the cost of one person’s decision to an entire family….but the brief is wide. I also love confession style pieces / a glimpse inside someone’s love life / pieces that examine modern manners.”

Rate is 40p per word. If interested, send your pitches to alexandra.jones@telegraph.co.uk. To learn more, refer to this post and their website.
