💼 Publication: MIT Technology Review
🤑 Pay: $1–$2 per word
📅 Pitch Deadline: May 30, 2025
🧠 Theme: The Body (with a tech twist)

MIT Technology Review is planning its November/December 2025 issue, and they’re calling on ambitious writers to pitch sharp, bold, and compelling tech-related features centered around The Body. Think investigative pieces, powerful essays, next-level profiles — all through the lens of technology.

They’re not looking for vague concepts. Pitches need a clear angle, an engaging hook, and solid storytelling direction. This is your shot to land a narrative feature in a globally respected publication — and get paid generously for it.

🧵 A few pitch tips from the editors:

• Don’t pitch a topic — pitch a story. Be specific.
• Showcase your writing chops. They want to feel the narrative arc in your pitch.
• 2–3 paragraphs is usually enough if you’re nailing the concept.
• Read their pitch guide before sending anything. It’s gold.

How to Pitch:
Send your pitch to Rachel Courtland and Allison Arieff at rachel.courtland@technologyreview.com with the subject line:
“Body Issue Pitch”

📌 Bonus: They’re also accepting pitches anytime for other sections like:

• Short profiles
• Timely news stories
• Q&As (check out Job Titles of the Future)
• Book roundups
• Photo-led features

These don’t need to tie into the theme, so shoot your shot even if your idea doesn’t fit “The Body.”

🔥 How to Pitch (Quick Guide):

• Come up with a specific story idea tied to tech + body.
• Write a punchy 2–3 paragraph pitch with a clear angle.
• Use “Body Issue Pitch” as your subject line.
• Send it to: rachel.courtland@technologyreview.com

This is a major opportunity — if you’ve got the chops, go for it.
