Query:
I'm rounding up the best products shoppers can (and should!) buy
on Walmart.com and Walmart+ and would LOVE your pitches. Ideally
your pitch will be a popular product with better pricing via
Walmart, an exclusive to the store, or a product that's just too
good to pass up.
Open to most types of products ranging from wellness to home
essentials, automotive to gardening, snacks to beauty and
everything in between.
Please include info about your product, a direct link to
walmart.com to purchase, and why it's a must-shop. Short
deadline on this one. Bonus points if your client/brand is great
about social media shares!

Media Outlet: The New York Times
Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 20 November
Query:
I'm working on a feature for NYT Travel about "the cancelers" --
people who basically spent all year canceling their trips.
Perhaps it started with cancellations in March or April, and now
these people are looking at the rising virus numbers and
deciding to cancel their holiday or early 2021 plans.
Requirements:
I'm interested in three types of sources: - anecdotal sources
(the cancelers themselves) who can speak not only about the
trips they were supposed to take, but some of the hoops they had
to jump through in recouping funds or credit for their
reservations. The more detail, the better! - industry
perspective (how this sort of booking activity has affected a
travel company's financial health this year, how it has adjusted
cancellation policies to account for the new reality) - data
that speaks to the overwhelming volume of canceled bookings (I
have a lot already, but open to seeing anything particularly
interesting or new)

Deadline: 8:00 PM EST - 19 November
Query:
1. Your name, location (city, state) or clients and credentials
(must be a licensed doula) and link to website/book/etc. for
citation.
If you're BIPOC, please mention that as we're trying to include
diverse voices here (won't reference that in article unless
you'd like to be profiled as such.) 2. Please share in a few
sentences why expectant parents should consider doulas. Is there
anything surprising people may not realize about doulas role?
3. What should someone know before hiring a doula? Are there any
important questions to ask or drawbacks to consider? Should you
talk to your OBGYN first? Where is the best place to get doula
recs locally? 4. What is the average cost of a doula? Do any
insurance plans cover it? And are there any doula services that
are purposefully low-cost or no-cost? Basically, how can doulas
be as accessible as possible to everyone? 5. Optional: For
BIPOC doulas only, please explain how doulas can help expectant
parents from marginalized communities. (If you can reference
data around expectant Black mothers and mortality or any
studies, please do so). Would going to a doula be safer than
going to the hospital for a Black woman? What about other women
of color?
Requirements:
Please don't tell me you have someone great for this, to be
considered, simply send responses! (HARO yields many responses
so telling people individually you'd like their expert quotes is
unrealistic for a writer on deadline sorting through a high
volume of HARO replies. I realize this may not be worth your
time if inclusion isn't guaranteed, so feel free to not reply in
this case!). Do NOT include attachments. HARO blocks
attachments. But you knew that right? Quotes may be tweaked
slightly for grammar/clarity/flow. Will send link when live if
you make final cut.
