Pitch notes
Pitches for reported stories, profiles, criticism; 2-3 paragraph pitch + samples; new writers encouraged to start with 300-1,000 words. Pay NBCC-sourced (8/9/24).
Our take: coming soon. Spot something out of date? Tell us. Always confirm on the outlet's own page before pitching; pages change without notice.
