Deadline: 5 July (pitch form to open July 1st)
S.E. Smith, Co-Founder of The Flytrap, is looking for pitches:
Writers: The Flytrap will be opening our pitch form July 1-5! Read our pitch guidelines for more information about what we're looking for and what to expect: https://theflytrap.beehiiv.com/c/pitch-the-flytrap
Really want to stress: WE DO NOT ACCEPT EMAIL PITCHES.
Also, please make sure you have an understanding of us before you pitch.
I cannot stress enough how annoying it is to get half-baked pitches from people who clearly aren't doing feminist cultural criticism. I don't want your spaghetti.
Again: WE DO NOT ACCEPT EMAIL PITCHES.

One more time: WE DO NOT ACCEPT EMAIL PITCHES. No, not even from you! Even my friends use the pitch form!
