Call for pitches and pitch guide for The Polis Project's new culture vertical!
The Polis Project is launching a culture vertical, and we want your reviews, cultural criticism, interviews and features. All contributions will be paid.
Art and entertainment are the most powerful way to shape political ethos, and in this era of manufactured consent and propaganda, we are interested in creating a counter-narrative of resistance.
Our culture stories will be global. To that end, we welcome pitches from all over the world, particularly the global south.
OUR RATES:
1. Reviews & Criticism (book, film, art, tv): $150-$250. Keen on titles from small presses that do not have a marketing machine behind them, and under-represented authors and artists.
2. Cultural Criticism: $150-250. Analyses that explores cultural phenomena, trends, and political themes. We are looking for strong arguments, and a clear voice to anchor the story.
3. Interviews: $100. In-depth conversations with cultural figures and thinkers, discussing their work, influences, etc.
4. Features: $150-250. Including profiles of cultural figures set within a clear political context. We welcome stories on language, art, place, people, and other interesting narratives on how we live.
We pay $400 for longform in any of the categories listed above except interviews.
