Sure, that sounds fine, and I'll have it to you within two weeks. Thanks for the assignment.

Hi Barrett,

How about you go ahead and do the Flushing offal piece, perhaps framed around sampling 3-4 strange dishes. We can add $30 for food expenses, although that's usually fairly difficult for us to swing—and probably shouldn't be regarded as precedent. Times are tough! Is two weeks enough time? Thanks,

Paul

Hi, Paul-

Sure. Let me know if you have any assignments you'd like to go ahead and have me do (like the Flushing/intestines thing); otherwise I'll send you some pitches. Do you pay expenses?


Thanks,

Hi Barrett,

Great to hear you're interested. The local portion of the AV Club is now called Decider, with a web presence (ny.decider.com) in addition to the back part of the paper. We were wondering if you'd be interested in contributing food features (not reviews), perhaps exploring neglected haunts or strange cuisine. For example, we had an idea of sending a writer to Flushing in search of strange offal and animals (intestines, turtle, etc.)—maybe that's you. Otherwise we're open to pitches that explore the more curious corners of New York eating—food as urban exploration—as well as more general New York culture pieces. Articles are generally 750-1000 words, and pay is .12/word, so around $90-100/article. Let me know what you think. Thanks,

Paul

Howdy-

Just got your linkedin message. Sure, I'd be down for writing for A.V. New York. Are you looking for the 150-200 word bar and restaurant listings or longer features or both?

Thanks,
