The Toronto Star is Canada’s largest daily print newspaper and one of Canada’s largest online news sites.
The publication's editor is always on the hunt for personal essays reflecting on a meaningful travel experience for its travel section.
Examples of past successful pitches include:
‘How the strangers I met on vacation became my most supportive, longest-lasting relationship.’
‘I’m a millennial who took a cruise full of septuagenarians. What they knew changed my life.’
‘Months after a near-death experience, I went on an adventure that reminded me of what I want to do in life.’
💡
NOTE from Yulia: While the Toronto Star is not the highest-paid publication (typical stories sell for $300 to $500 CAD), the editor is great to work with, and the publication's stories often win awards (the pub just won a Gold Lowell Thomas award from SATW). Consider it a great target publication for some of your more personal stories.
