By Raven Yamamoto
In honor of the Black Lives Matter movement, Agency has decided to round up paid opportunities exclusively for Black writers and reporters.
My DMs are open to Black writers in California who want to share their stories / perspectives / ideas in @thebolditalic. Open to personal essays, reported pieces, round-ups of resources, opinions, and more. This is true now, but it is also true all the time. We pay $200-300.— Clara Hogan (@claramhogan) June 1, 2020
Hey y'all, I have a little budget flexibility right now and can pay Black authors above our usual rate for essays about books/writing/storytelling media. Does not have to be about race/violence/protests though other topics may take longer to pub. Pitch info next tweet.— Jess Zimmerman (@j_zimms) June 2, 2020

CALL FOR PITCHES: I realize this is an exhausting time with maybe more pressing concerns, but I would love to hear from black outdoor writers who would like to contribute thoughtful essays connecting the protests to the outdoors generally and the outdoor industry.
