How to Pitch: Good--All New!

good.jpgThis is a new How-to-Pitch guide, not one of these revamped dealies. And, good news: wide open to freelancers, this new 'magazine for people who give a damn' is -- as it turns out -- a 'good' place to pitch, writes Justin Tyler Clark. With content that runs the gamut, Good's first issue offers an essay on the value of reading from radio host Michael Silverblatt, a photo essay on the U.S.-Mexican border created by both pro- and anti-immigrant activists, and a profile of Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales. Embracing what it proclaims as "this generation's merger of capitalism and idealism," Good aims to provoke thought across the political spectrum, a process that begins when readers subscribe: All fees go to any of 12 non-profit organizations the reader chooses. Most departments are open to freelancers, except story ideas that rely on the words 'eco,' 'green,' or 'charity,' evidently -- Good would rather have your analysis than your catchphrases. All pitches should go the magazine's general e-mail address, and will be read by everyone on Good's small staff--but use common sense and be concise. Read more here.
