Damian Kerlin, Founder of Material Queer, is looking for pitches:
I’m back looking for commissions for Material Queer.
This time it’s a wee bit different. I’m looking for long-form in-depth writing or short videos all about our glorious queer culture.
I want what our mainstream queer press won’t cover, so no Bridgerton or Dr Who.
Details:
Long form = between 2,500 - 3,500 words
Video is between 1 - 3 minutes, can be as simple as a reel
Fees start at £750, but will be discussed independently depending on the requirements of the individual/pitch
Queer folk ONLY!
Open to international writers? Yes.

Learn more about the publication: Material Queer wants to celebrate queer culture and serve as a reminder of the transformative role it plays in telling our stories and shaping our identity. Material Queer is a newsletter which embodies conventions of gender and sexuality to highlight the performative aspects of identity and to oppose the tyranny of 'the normal'. More information here.
