GR ONLINE PITCH CALL-OUT
We're currently accepting non-fiction pitches for GR Online, our online publishing platform. This is where we showcase short (1,000-1,500 words) pieces of commentary and critique that engage with contemporary culture, literature, politics and more (visit GR Online to get an idea of what we've published recently).
We want new perspectives, original thinking and a healthy dose of stylistic flair. If this sounds like you, here's what to send us by the call-out closing date:
a short (no more than 100 words) biographical statement
up to three short pitches (no more than 150 words each) for potential pieces
a short (no more than 500 words) writing sample that shows us what wordsmith wizardry you can bring to GR Online.
We'd particularly welcome pitches from First Nations writers. We'd also welcome pitches from members of the d/Deaf and disabled writing communities. (Please let us know if you have accessibility requirements or need us to make adjustments to the submission process.)
We pay $500 per article. We'll notify our successful writers by October 2024.
Submissions open: 9.00AM on Monday 19 August 2024
Submissions close: 11.59PM on Sunday 8 September 2024
