Posted by Margarita Sanabria

Huck is looking for writers with bright ideas related to politics, current affairs, activism, culture and tech from around the globe.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Huck is a youth publication that celebrates and explores independent culture, including people and movements that paddle against the flow. It features stories from the countercultural frontlines — punks, skaters, surfers, artists, activists, filmmakers, photographers and more.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Check out these stories below to get an idea of what we would like to see:

  •  We love pieces about gig economy workers and how they’re fighting back against bad bosses. See piece by Anna Dent.
  • We would like to add more oral histories, like this superb piece on the Mersey model by Ella Glover.
  • Forgotten or underreported histories, like this fantastic piece from Moya Crockett on the 1988 nurses’ strike.
  • Articles digging into intriguing, surprising emerging trends, such as this from Serena Smith.
  • Brilliant, vital on-the-ground reporting from our politics editor extraordinaire, Ben Smoke.
  • Reporting on major issues from around the world, such as this illuminating piece by Conrad Johnson-Omodiagbe looking at #EndSARS one year on – amazing photography is always a big bonus.

COMPENSATION

  • ~$160-$300 – (£120-£200 for interviews/profiles and £225 and up for larger pieces). It is recommended that you discuss the rate(s) individually upon acceptance of your pitch.
