Dear teen,

Ms. magazine is accepting pitches from self-identified teen girls for its “The Future is Ms.” column. Articles for this column highlight newsworthy U.S.-based teen girls who are making an impact on the lives of other feminists. The topic and the impact should be timely and tied to current events.

We are looking for pieces that will be timely and relevant this summer. Specifically, we are looking for a piece that ties into civic engagement (voting, volunteering, service-learning, hands-on activities that unite or share a voice in a community).

For more background on the column, read this Call for Pitches: bit.ly/MsTeenPitches. We pay $100 for pieces upon publication.

Before working on your pitch, read the pieces published under “The Future is Ms.” to date: http://msmagazine.com/blog/tag/the-future-is-ms/

The pitch should include the specific impact of the teen on the issue (what has changed b/c of their activism?). You can find some good advice about pitching from the smart folks at NPR. Send pitches to [email protected] by Thur. April 23, 2020.

If you haven’t written for me before, please include 1-2 clips (urls or pdfs of 1 or 2 previously published pieces), if you have any.
