Slate is looking for feature pitches

A good Slate feature takes readers on a ride, challenges their assumptions, and needs at least 3000 words to be told right. It’s also, crucially, fun.

Slate’s a good place for an idea that’s too voicey to work anywhere else, that’s still supported by rigorous reporting.

First-person welcome, white-whale ideas encouraged.

Examples of past articles commissioned include:

• Investigation into the radicalization of Southern grandmas in a deep-red Alabama

• The Lindy West profile heard round the internet

• A hilarious, thoughtful report on the rise of penis injections, and more.
