Apartment Therapy is currently accepting freelance pitches for its Lifestyle section, offering paid opportunities for writers interested in topics like life advice, home organization, cleaning routines, and real estate insights.

For this call, the editorial team is specifically looking for timely lifestyle stories tied to seasonal moments and cultural observances happening in April, May, and June. Examples include Easter, Mental Health Awareness Month, and Father’s Day, but writers are encouraged to pitch any creative idea that connects to the season.

Freelance writers can pitch across several lifestyle categories including Life, Cleaning, Organizing, and Real Estate. This is a strong opportunity for writers who specialize in personal essays, service journalism, lifestyle reporting, or home-focused features.

Apartment Therapy welcomes a range of story formats, including first-person essays, reported features, profiles, and historical deep dives that connect lifestyle trends to seasonal themes.

Writers pitching this outlet should bring fresh angles, practical insights, and strong personal perspectives that resonate with readers interested in improving their daily lives and homes.

Because the publication receives a high number of submissions, the pitch form may close before the official deadline once enough ideas are received. Writers are therefore encouraged to submit their freelance article pitches as early as possible.

This opportunity is particularly suitable for freelance lifestyle writers, personal essayists, home organization writers, and journalists covering housing and everyday living trends.

What They’re Looking For

Apartment Therapy is interested in pitches such as:

• Personal essays with a strong voice and perspective
• Reported lifestyle features with useful insights
• Profiles of inspiring individuals, creators, or brands
• Seasonal or historical stories tied to upcoming holidays or observances

Successful pitches typically combine storytelling with practical value, giving readers ideas they can apply to their homes or lives.
