Saliha Bayrak, Associate Editor at The Drift, is looking for pitches:
I’m so so happy to announce I’ve joined The Drift as an associate editor! That means you can pitch me any Drift-worthy pieces saliha@thedriftmag.com
We’re looking for long form essays on culture and politics that make clear, surprising arguments, and very, very short reviews for our ‘Mentions’ section. Please check out the guide before you pitch: https://www.thedriftmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Pitching-the-Drift.pdf
Pitches should be relevant 5-6 months from now. We usually don’t take personal essays or straightforward reviews of singular pieces of art. Would love to see some stories about Palestine from Palestinian writers, about Lebanon from Lebanese writers.
