MIT Technology Review is accepting pitches for their print issue

MIT Technology review is accepting pitches for their May/June 2026 print closure: The Future of Work [pitches due mid-to-late November 2025].

The front of the book consists of short news storieswith some shelf life (500-800 words); “Job titles of the future” (400-600 words); and profiles (1200-1500 words). In the back of the book we run reported essays; book essays that round up 3-4 books on a theme; and photo-led behind-the-scenes storiescalled Field Notes (here are two examples). None of these types of articles need to be tied to the theme of the issue, and you can pitch them whenever you’d like.

The feature well of the magazine is devoted to narrative features, investigations, big profiles, and reported essays (generally between 2500-4000words) centered around the theme of the issue.

Rates range from $1 to $2 per word, depending on the experience level of the writer, the story, and the publication route. Deeply reported features pay more than shorter news pieces.
