Writers, this is a strong opportunity from The New Republic, a publication that pays well and respects thoughtful, deeply reported writing. Heather Souvaine Horn is calling for smart, original pitches on climate, the environment, agriculture, and public health. She’s open to reportage, essays, analysis, and opinion pieces—everything from technical, academic-leaning work (as long as it’s relevant to their readers) to bold, even eccentric takes.

Your ideas don’t have to be tied to daily news cycles, but they must connect to the current U.S. conversation in some way. And if you’re outside the usual DC–NY orbit? Even better. They want distinctive regional stories, lived experiences, and “off-the-wall” angles that stand out. If you pitched recently and never heard back, you’re welcome to resend your idea.

Include links to your previous work to help the editor understand your style and strengths.

What They’re Looking For:

• Strong environmental writing that blends data, narrative, and urgency
• Agriculture stories rooted in lived realities or underreported trends
• Public health features tied to current policy or social conversations
• Fresh, relevant U.S.-focused perspectives—especially from writers outside mainstream hubs
• Smart analysis, lyrical reflections, and unexpected angles
