What They’re Looking For:

Cosmopolitan UK is commissioning freelance features that dive into topics their audience loves:

• Raw and real takes on sex and intimacy 💋
• Complicated or empowering relationship stories ❤️
• Personal finance truths or money hacks 💸
• Health and wellness from a modern woman’s lens 💪

Back it up with a short synopsis (what the article will explore, why it matters now), and include 1–2 writing samples that show off your voice and structure.
