So, here… another list of promising publications. You could find any of these pubs interesting! However, as you may proceed with any of these editions, don't forget to do the following:
Visit the publication to understand the kind of content they publish
Under the tone, style, and structure
Read their freelance/contributors guidelines
Furthermore, another essential thing you should hold in mind is assuring that the idea you’re about to pitch has never been covered. Even if there’s a similar idea to the one you have, just ensure you’re writing from a different standpoint. This way, you may find your way in!
Also, one thing I want you to do is that, don’t rush to send your pitch. Take your time to do the needful. If you have difficulty coming up with a pitch idea, this article "How to Write a Winning Pitch That Can Get Your Paid" will give you a hint on how to go about it.
