MSN Men’s Lifestyle
MSN Lifestyle: Men is looking for journalists who can write engaging, funny and informative articles on a variety of topics that appeal to men. From the single life to relationships with women to fatherhood and steps beyond, our audience wants articles that are entertaining, helpful and have a sharp point of view. Our site also regularly delves into such issues as barbecuing, playing golf, trends in home improvement and men’s fashion—or lack thereof—and outdoor activities, as well as the occasional personal essay . Got a knack for quizzes? We need quiz writers who can be funny and, even more important, illuminating.
Please spend some time looking at our site and then send us a query letter clearly outlining your idea. We want specific pitches or articles. We won’t respond to general offers to cover a topic. Also send us links to your best work. Writers should have published at least three articles in the past year.
