Here's a list of paying publications that take pitches. This is not an exhaustive list! That would be impossible. But, it's a pretty wide swath of what's out there.

Many publications fall into multiple categories. Just because the New York Times is listed under Newspapers, doesn't mean it doesn't feature Travel or Food stories. I tried to group them based on what the publication primarily publishes, but always check the site to see all the verticals they publish.

For the most part, the links go to pitching guidelines, staff directories, or mastheads. If that wasn't available, it goes to the main site. Still, it should make it easier to find what you need for pitching!

If a place isn't taking pitches anymore or went out of business, please let me know! Email amber@amberpetty.com any time.
