StarTrek.com accepts pitches for essays, reported work, features, and more. Below, you'll find a few general tips for pitching to our Managing Editor and staff. All assignments will be contracted and paid. Writers from outside the United States are welcome.
We are interested in pitches on the following evergreen topics:
Timely responses to recent Star Trek episodes. This is not a call for recaps. It’s a call for deeper looks at various aspects that might have been introduced or explored in an episode.
Trek related essays (We will also consider video essay pitches on a case-by-case basis.)
Personal essays that relate back to Trek.
Any reported work that ties current events back into Trek, including...
Reported pieces about current space exploration (NASA, SpaceX, ISSA, etc.)
Reported pieces about technology relevant to Trek. (ie, Do you know of someone developing an EpiPen that operates like a hypospray? We want to know about it.)
Deep dives (Did you reread Planet X and find some revelatory detail that warrants 1500-2000 words? Hit us up.)
Listicles (we're eager to hear about your top 10 Class M Planets!)
Interviews with interesting Star Trek fans.
Any other creative ideas you might have! Please make sure that they do not fall under the category of things we explicitly do not want. (See below)

Because why pay writers to create content? That's so last century.
