What They Want

  • Content written by medical professionals addressing clinical questions related to physical and mental health.
  • Typically commissioned rather than unsolicited pitches.
  • Content that covers non-clinical aspects of health, including social, political, identity, cultural, discrimination, and lifestyle factors.
  • First-person essays and narratives that raise awareness and explore experiences of underrepresented identities.
  • Features that offer bold, challenging perspectives and report in-depth on health-related issues.
  • Describing health and personal experiences, especially from underrepresented identities.
  • In-depth reported stories that offer new perspectives or teach readers something new. Topics might include underfunded medical research, media misrepresentation of conditions, or issues disproportionately affecting certain communities.
  • Clearly specify the affected group (e.g., people with endometriosis, lesbians, trans people).
  • Avoid unsupported cause-and-effect relationships.
  • Focus on well-formed arguments that serve the readers.
