We're looking for submissions that offer unique, thoughtful analysis, engaging commentary, and authoritative advice. Our contributors are often high-profile experts and thought leaders in their fields: C-suite executives, former executives, professors, investors, venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, attorneys, consultants, authors, technologists, and engineers.
Contributor articles must be original and exclusive to Business Insider, though we are willing to republish blog posts or articles that you retain the rights to as part of our Syndication program. We do not accept promotional or sponsored posts; you should always disclose any conflicts of interest. Contributors at Business Insider are not paid, though there have been rare exceptions. In those cases, contributors are paid like freelance writers.
Freelance writers at Business Insider
We welcome pitches of personal essays, as-told-tos, diaries, profiles, how-tos, reported features, and more. Our best advice for deciding what to pitch: Read the site. Get a feel for the types of stories we run. Don't pitch stories we've already written. Be creative, and use a Business Insider-style headline in the subject line of your email.
Freelance rates vary and are determined by a variety of factors including the amount of reporting and research involved, the length of the article, and the experience of the writer. All freelance pitches must be exclusive to Business Insider. We do not accept promotional or sponsored posts; you should always disclose any conflicts of interest. If we accept your pitch, your rate will be determined in a discussion between you and your editor via email.
