Hi. I’m the new senior features editor at @Cosmopolitan . I put out a call for pitches last week and got an incredible response. Thank you so much! Now, I want to drill down a bit and give some more context on what we’re looking for. 1) STORY!...

The biggest reason I turn down a pitch is because it focuses on a topic or an idea rather than a story. Stories have narrative action and memorable characters. They tell me very specifically about something that happened to actual people. They have plots. 2) Surprise!...

Our target audience is women under 35. That’s a huge and diverse group of people, but there are things that just don't matter to them. I know this is tricky, and if you’ve got something that meets the other two criteria, shoot your shot, absolutely!

....is to tell people something unexpected and surprising. In this vein, if it’s a story we’ve seen many times before or something that we’ve covered a lot, it’s probably not going to work for us. 3) Audience!

So maybe you’ve got a narrative with good characters, but does the story play out basically the way I’d expect it to? This is so hard, because there are a lot things we *should* know about, but the way to make those issues or stories appeal to a broad audience....

...Some features have a first-person perspective, but those typically contain lots of original reporting and narrative. Ask yourself–does my piece have a narrative and characters, or is it an exploration of a “topic” or “idea”? If it’s the latter, it’s not right for us.

My experience writing this was amazing, my editor @katiabachko is an incredible human, and I'm very glad the magazine supported this reporting, but I hate the way @Harpers has addressed objections to Roiphe's reporting.

if you hate your body and appearance and think that taking an interest in clothes is "gay," and your goal is to not stand out, so you end up wearing bland uniforms out of fear of being mocked, then, of course, you're going to look bad.

When media assume trans victims of violence are sex workers they imply "that somehow transgender people deserve it”: http://t.co/3B6TpMLGwT

I'm going to do a thread on my recent reporting about trans rights and health care. The issues I grappled with for most of last year are back in the news and will keep coming up.
