There's no fee to pitch. We pay contributors, on publication.
How to pitch
Use the form on Pitch. Include:
- a working headline;
- the story in 2–4 paragraphs: what it is, who you've talked to or plan to, why now;
- 2–3 links to your published clips (or your strongest writing if you haven't been published yet);
- your timeline and rough word count;
- any conflicts of interest or embargoes.
What we're looking for
Scene reports from cities we don't have eyes on, profiles of underground artists outside the press cycle, features on labels, venues and residencies, and photo essays from the floor.
Artists promoting their own release
That's a music submission, not a pitch: How do I submit music or a mix?
We don't accept AI-generated or AI-rewritten copy.
