BBC Worklife is calling for smart, globally-minded feature writers who can unpack how the world of work and life are changing. They’re looking for deeply reported, human-centered narratives about the way we live, work, and think — stories that make readers stop and reflect.

If you can explain emerging trends in the workplace, social equality, parenting, and identity — and connect them to real human stories — this is for you.

What They’re Looking For:

• Reported narrative features with a global outlook
• Fresh, research-driven takes on work, equality, parenting, and lifestyle
• Human stories that move, inspire, and teach
• Expert interviews, data, and clear reporting
• Story ideas that help readers understand the world differently

They are not accepting pitches for columns or new series, but you can write for existing ones like Equality Matters.
