The International Policy Journal is open to pitches from writers with strong ideas in foreign policy and political analysis, particularly those engaging critically with U.S. power, imperial skepticism, and evolving global political thought.

The editor is especially interested in work that reflects the growing depth and diversity of political critique emerging online—well-argued, intellectually serious pieces that move beyond recycled academic figures and bring sharper, more accessible perspectives to international politics.

This is a strong opportunity for political writers, foreign policy analysts, opinion journalists, and freelance writers seeking high-paying international writing jobs with a respected publication.

Writers from Africa, including Kenya, with a global lens and rigorous political thinking are encouraged to pitch.

Payment Note:
While official rates are not publicly listed, reports indicate that the International Policy Journal pays between $400 and $1,500 USD per article. Writers are advised to confirm final rates directly with the editor once a pitch is accepted.

• Original, well-researched pitches on foreign policy or global politics
• Sharp political analysis with clear moral and ideological grounding
• Fresh perspectives on U.S. power, imperialism, and international systems
• Clear writing suited for an informed but broad readership
