Frank Olito, Editor at Insider, is looking for pitches:
For Business Insider: I'm looking to connect with freelancers (or regular sources) who are part of the sandwich generation who have an interesting, one-of-a-kind story to tell.
Do you have three generations living under one roof?
Has your mother or father just moved into your already crowded house?
Did your adult child move back home?
Did you have to make a drastic change to your life so you could support three generations?
Are you struggling to make ends meet?
Are you concerned about placing your parents in a care home?
Is there a side of the sandwich generation that people don't know about?
Pitch me at folito@businessinsider.com
CONFIDENTIAL NOTE: Reports indicate that Insider pays flat rates equivalent to 30+ cents per word. It is recommended that you discuss the rate(s) with the editor upon the acceptance of your pitch.
