Lifestyle Writer
Business InsiderHi everyone! I’ve updated my pitch form with a few fresh call-outs. Would love to work with some new writers!
There are a few different topics in the lifestyle/food/travel realm on there, but I’d especially love to hear from you if:
• You moved to a new city, state, or country, and your life or lifestyle improved (or didn’t!)
• You have a unique living situation/lifestyle that works well for you (kind of broad, I know — but you’ll find some examples on my form!)

Hello!
I'm currently open to lifestyle pitches, and I'd love to work together! Our rates start at $240 for stories around 600 words. Below, please find a few examples of the types of stories that we publish. (In general, we love first-person pieces with strong takeaways and/or service angles!)
If your story sounds like a fit or if I have any further questions, I'll be in touch to set up a quick phone call! Due to the sheer volume of pitches our team receives, I may not be able to respond to every pitch — if you don't hear back from me in three weeks, you can assume we're passing at this time.
Personal essays about moves that didn’t go the way you expected:
I moved to Portland at 22. Now that I'm 30, I've outgrown so much of what I loved about the city.
I spent my entire life running from my hometown. At 32, I moved back to save money, and I've never been happier.
We gave up our dream home in Dallas for my career in New York. After just one year, we realized it was a mistake.
Pieces about the pros and cons of unique living situations:
My husband and I moved to an off-grid cabin in West Virginia 10 years ago. This lifestyle has been tough, but worth it.
I quit my corporate job and spent 18 months living on a sailboat. My mindset's completely shifted now that I'm back on land.
I left city life to marry a farmer and move to a 100-year-old prairie farm. It was the best decision I've ever made.
Stories about surprising/unconventional travel "hacks" you swear by:
My best friend and I visited Paris together, but stayed in separate apartments. It went even better than expected.
When we go on family vacations, one of us arrives 3 days early without our kid. It's the secret to our happy marriage.
Service-forward travel listicles that only *you* could write:
I've traveled to every capital city in Europe. There are 5 I'd go back to in a heartbeat and 3 I'd skip next time.I've been to every hotel on the Las Vegas Strip — but there are just 5 that I'll always revisit.
I've lived in the Netherlands for 10 years. Here are the 6 biggest mistakes I see tourists make.
Reviews of surprisingly easy celeb chef recipes:
I tried Gordon Ramsay's 10-minute 'gourmet' pasta. It's one of my new go-to weeknight dinners.
I made Ina Garten's 5-ingredient burger patties. They tasted amazing and came together quickly.
I made Ree Drummond's 'best mac and cheese in all eternity.' It's my go-to comfort meal — but I add one extra ingredient.
Thank you so much for your interest!
