Rewire News Group is currently accepting freelance pitches from journalists with strong story ideas related to disability justice, science, and parenthood.

The U.S.-based newsroom focuses exclusively on reporting about reproductive and sexual health, rights, and justice. Their coverage treats these issues as central to public life and democracy rather than side topics in political debates. Writers with well-researched, timely, and original ideas are encouraged to pitch.

The publication commissions a range of story formats, including reported features, explainers, research-driven articles, and coverage of court decisions affecting reproductive and sexual rights. They are particularly interested in stories that explore how reproductive health and justice intersect with disability rights, science, and the lived realities of parenting.

Rewire News Group emphasizes inclusive journalism that reflects a wide range of experiences across race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, and national origin. Writers with professional expertise, lived experience, or strong reporting backgrounds in these areas may have an advantage when pitching.

Freelance writers should submit well-developed story ideas that demonstrate a clear angle, relevance to current debates or developments, and strong reporting potential. Due to the high volume of submissions, the editorial team typically responds only to pitches they are interested in commissioning.

All submissions must be sent through the official pitch portal on the publication’s website, even if the writer has previously worked with the outlet.

Reports indicate that Rewire News Group pays approximately $350 to $500 per article, though writers are advised to confirm the exact rate after a pitch is accepted.

What They’re Looking For:

• Strong freelance pitches on disability justice and reproductive rights
• Science-based reporting related to reproductive and sexual health
• Stories exploring parenthood and reproductive justice
• Timely, well-researched journalism with a clear news hook
• Reported features, explainers, or court and policy coverage
