Off Assignment is seeking literary personal essays for our open columns! And we are so pleased to announce an increase in writer payments starting in July: $500 for all long-form essays and $100 for short-form “Witching Hour” essays. Our columns invite you to pen essays for the following prompts: “Letter to a Stranger,” addressed to a stranger who haunts you still; “No Equivalent,” about a word, phrase, or concept that evades translation; “Under the Influence,” on the alchemy between art and place, “Witching Hour,” ambient place portraits set at a specific time, and “What I Didn’t Say,” the story-behind-the-story of an assignment or reportage that didn’t make it into the printed piece.
Please find the full submission guidelines here.
