Merged Insights is expanding its roster of contributors and I’m opening up new assignments for thoughtful, 800-1,200-word pieces that unpack culture and social trends, human behavior and psychology, and the dynamics of media and online communities. What matters most is a clear, conversational voice that still feels rigorously researched and analytically sharp—I want readers to feel entertained while learning something new. Bring structured arguments, cite credible sources, and steer clear of low-effort or purely AI-generated drafts. I’m personally very familiar with AI writing assistants, so I’m happy if you use them for ideation or outlining, but each submission must remain human-led and responsibly edited before it reaches me. Key details • Length: 800-1,200 words • Tone: Conversational and engaging, with solid analysis beneath the surface • Deadline: Agreed upon per article; reliability is non-negotiable • Topics in current demand: culture & social trends, human behavior & psychology, media & online communities Submit a brief pitch or two that shows the angle you want to take, any initial sources you’ll lean on, and the insight you expect readers to walk away with. If the pitch clicks, I’ll green-light the article and we’ll take it from there.
