We’re looking for articles about heroes, animals, medical miracles, faith, survival, female role models, money saving, and more. UFO and Bigfoot stories need not apply! If you want more guidance on the types of stories we are seeking, take a look at any issue of The Enquirer. We pay competitive freelance rates. If you are professional journalist, we will consider hiring you to produce articles. Otherwise, we will pay you a fee just for making us aware of a story idea that leads to an article. Send us a brief summary about it (a few sentences will do). If possible, include any prior articles that have been published regarding the story. Email humaninterest@nationalenquirer.com.
