Deadline: 30 July 2024
Call for pitches for our upcoming issue all about mushrooms.
For next summer, we're planning a celebration of all things mushrooms: foraging for them, encountering them on grocery store shelves, even swimming by them. We're looking for pitches for nonfiction stories about important mushrooms in history. Send us your ideas for emperors poisoned by mushrooms, brilliant mushroom heists, or religious leaders who prayed to mushrooms. Pitches (not full stories, please!) should be for nonfiction (essay, memoir, or reporting), and no more than a page or so.
This window will open July 15-30, 2024.
Note: In general, we're not able to consider submissions for poetry, fiction, or AI-assisted works at this time, even during an open pitch window.
Orion Magazine offers $1000 for this piece.
