OPPS SUCCESS STORIES

Do I comb through the interwebs for opportunities because of a blood pact with the ghost of our founder, Eric Studyhall, that brings me international acclaim for my writing? I’m legally (and spiritually) not allowed to say. What I can say is that this pact has led to real people in the Study Hall community getting real jobs that pay real money, unlike the ghost money I am paid with by Eric. If you turned a pitch call into paid work, please let me know by emailing [email protected] with “Opps Success Story” in the subject line.

–Loré Yessuff was paid $500 to write about the experience of getting her hair braided for Vox’s section, The Goods. The rate was for a story of 1,200-1,500 words, and she pitched the story after reading a Study Hall interview with Alanna Okun, who shared tips on how to pitch their Best Money I Ever Spent series.

–Harry Harris began producing scripts for The Take after responding to an Opps pitch call by the publication last April. The rate per script is $450 and was negotiated up from $350, and also includes a permalance stipulation of $100 that is conditional on meeting their deadlines. Harry “couldn’t recommend working for them enough” and recommends that any culture journalists reach out to them even if they don’t have experience writing scripts.

RESOURCES

Relying solely on, say, the Study Hall Opportunities newsletter to find work is like trying to do the “Y.M.C.A.” dance alone. It’s sad and please put your arms down. Just as that song takes a Village of People to perform, freelancing also takes a village… of resources. There’s no need to feel down, so pick yourself off the ground. It’s fun to read all the R.E.S.O.U.R.C.E.S.

-The Summer Writing Conferences for POC Writers thread by Vanessa Chan is a great list of conferences. It includes details on what is offered, whether the conferences have financial aid, and has inspired other people to respond with additional conferences. Win-win!

-The Case by Case newsletter publishes fully-formed pitches for journalists. Anyone can take, remake, and use their pitches. No strings attached. The newsletter includes suggested publications to pitch to, their favorite pitch of the week, and (just like this section) it also includes journalism and writing resources.

-The NPR Diverse Sources Database links you up with experts from racial and ethnic groups underrepresented in the media. Search by state or expertise, and never make an excuse to fill your features with all-white experts again.

-The Rate Sharing database by the Freelance Solidarity Project has a searchable list of publications so you know what rates they’re paying for what kind of content. It’s an essential resource for making sure you get the best rate possible (or skip the stinkers who don’t pay well).
