The Revelator is back open to freelance pitches, and this is one of those rare writing jobs online that pay well and value bold journalism. They want stories that push boundaries—covering the environment, politics, and science in ways most outlets can’t handle.

What They’re Looking For:

• Weird, unusual, or quirky conservation stories 🌱🐍
• Wildlife that doesn’t usually get attention (think snakes, spiders, rodents)
• Bold journalism that speaks truth to power
• Bleak, complex, or politically “wonky” issues explained clearly
• Inspiring, solutions-oriented, or hopeful narratives

Stories should run between 1,000–1,500 words. Payment is $300–$500 depending on scope.

What They Don’t Want:

• PR-driven or over-covered stories
• Breaking news or date-specific pitches
• Reviews, Q&As, personal essays
• Anything AI-generated ✋
