Kansas City magazine has been covering the city since 2005. They provide insight into the people, places and events that shape the landscape and help readers make smart choices about everything from restaurants and shopping to real estate. The magazine’s coverage ranges from features on serious topics like homicide rates to concert picks and lifestyle pieces about the season’s hottest trends. Stories tend to be mostly between 500 and 600 words. According to their pitch guide, their standard rate is 25 cents per word, though they will negotiate if a piece requires a lot of extra research.
