The War Horse is seeking freelance journalists, investigative reporters, and feature writers to pitch deeply reported stories exploring the human impact of military service, war, and national security policy.

The publication is particularly interested in original reporting, investigations, accountability journalism, and narrative features that uncover overlooked issues affecting service members, veterans, military families, and communities impacted by defense and national security decisions.

Successful pitches may focus on veterans navigating broken systems, military families facing unique challenges, policy decisions with far-reaching consequences, or institutions requiring greater public scrutiny. The editorial team is looking for stories that go beyond surface-level reporting to reveal broader patterns, explain why issues matter, and demonstrate their impact on real people.

Writers do not need military experience but should be capable of producing rigorous, accurate, and accessible journalism for readers who may not be familiar with military life or defense issues.

Most freelance assignments pay between $1,000 and $3,500, with higher compensation available for ambitious investigative projects and enterprise reporting.
