COMPANY/PUBLICATION: PUBLIC BOOKS

Sarah Rebecca Kessler, TV Section Editor at Public Books, is looking for pitches:

Friends I am the TV section editor at Public Books. Please pitch me!

Submission guidelines here www.publicbooks.org/submissions/ but I can be contacted directly at srkessle@usc.edu

I believe we are currently offering $150 honoraria to folks not in secure academic positions (aka also to anyone who’s not a professor). I can be reached with pitches at srkessle@usc.edu.

I'm interested in anything good about TV. I prefer stuff that really thinks about the medium in its specificity, incorporating audiovisual and/or industry analysis rather than only thinking about narrative or genre (though I love things that incorporate all of the above!).
