Pitches wanted (outliers) | ~38 cents per word

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: DIGITAL FRONTIER

Deadline: 31 March 2025

Sophia Epstein, Magazine Editor at Digital Frontier, is looking for pitches:

I’m looking for pitches for issue 005 of Digital Frontier Magazine – this one’s theme is OUTLIERS – details, rates, and deadline all in the thread.

OUTLIERS aren’t the people, companies, or communities saying they’re doing things differently – they are so fixated on their way, no one else’s was even an option.

OUTLIERS are the thinkers who raise eyebrows, the builders who innovate on a whim, the subcultures that shape society (without pomp and circumstance) – these are the stories I want to tell in issue 005.

Your stories can come in the form of profile pieces, like this one with Charles Broskoski from issue 003: digitalfrontier.com/articles/digital-curiosity-arena-perplexity

(But please don’t pitch profiles with people you don’t have access to.)

They can also come as more classic features, like this one on folk programmers from our Curiosity issue: digitalfrontier.com/articles/creative-computing-barefoot-developers-folk-programmers

As usual, every piece must relate to emerging, digital tech and its impact on our lives. Pick your OUTLIERS carefully. In the tech world, everyone thinks they are one – but I’m not looking for the people shouting loudly about being “the first”...

Everyone is welcome to pitch, whoever, wherever, whatever you are! Please send your nuanced, optimistic, well-researched, unique pitches to sophia [at] digitalfrontier [dot] com. Rates are ≥30p/word.

The deadline for pitches is March 31st, the 26th anniversary of The Matrix and also National Farm Workers Day.

If you can find someone on the intersection of that Venn diagram, congrats you’ve found yourself an outlier.
