National Geographic is calling for smart, research-driven story pitches around food science, pets, and plants. Editor Yasmine Maggio wants science-based features that make readers go, “Wow, I didn’t know that!”

Your stories should be timely, widely relevant, and grounded in expert-backed research — not straight news or generic trends. Think of second-day stories that unpack the science behind what’s trending.

Writers should have an established reporting background and published clips. Besides these topics, Yasmine also welcomes ideas around health, wellness, and culture, using the same high editorial standards.

What They’re Looking For:

• Science-focused features with clear takeaways
• Unique angles on current trends (not news recaps)
• Expert-backed storytelling
• Strong reporting and narrative skill
