Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Read the writers guidelines, then email the editor named there for the kind of piece you want to pitch. Previews, interviews, and profiles go to the associate editor; reviews, features, and essays go to the editor-in-chief..
What to expect
A pitch is a short email with an idea about an event, sent about a month ahead. If the editors accept it, you send one draft as a Word or Google doc, and the editors help shape ideas that are not fully formed. Previews run about 400 to 500 words and pay $50, and the guidelines suggest starting with previews and profiles.
Tips for your first visit
- Send drafts as a Word or Google doc, not a PDF, and send only one draft.
- Pitch about a month before the event, not two or three months out.
- Include at least one landscape jpg or png image with a caption and photo credit.
Newcomer welcome
Welcoming to newcomers (4 out of 5). Why we say this: The writers guidelines say the publication welcomes new writers, suggests starting with previews and profiles, and explain how to pitch..
Cost and commitment
- Cost
- Free. The newsletter is free. The guidelines list a fee for each piece type: $50 for reviews, previews, interviews, and profiles, and $100 for features and essays. Recorded review-writing workshops (two, 90 minutes each) can be had for a donation.
