SYNOPSIS
Four writers pitch their story ideas to Best Life editor-in-chief Stephen Perrine. Are any of them the right fit for this spinoff of Men's Health? Best Life caters to the man who, by age 35, has gotten the abs, the girl, and the job but wants more from life.

The magazine's heavy on service, but equally heavy on investigative journalism and literary prose. Best Life offers articles to improve the physical, emotional, and financial well-being of its affluent readership.

See which pitches fit the bill and which ones don't.
