We have indefinitely suspended our freelancer author program. It has recently been overwhelmed with low-effort submissions, and we need to find a wheat-chaff solution. If you are an author, and you feel that you have a compelling offering, a) please read our recent writings to familiarize yourself with our style; and b) find our contact info and contact us directly.

What We Do Want

  • Verifiable, evergreen, interesting non-fiction
  • Obscure stories rather than well-known
  • Stories that deserve to be long-form, without padding

What We Don’t Want

  • Fiction
  • News
  • Opinion
  • Personal anecdotes
  • Pseudoscience
  • LLM slop

F.A.Q.

How much do you pay?

Our current rate for freelance long-form articles is $400, though this is negotiable.

Do you accept articles that have been previously published elsewhere?

“Never” is a strong word, but very probably no.

Can I submit an article about a product or business?

If it is an interesting, non-promotional story about a product or business that you are NOT affiliated with, we’ll consider it. If your article is a thinly veiled advertisement, we definitely don’t want it.
