Calling all fandom journalists, current and aspiring! We've put together a pitch doc as Fansplaining (temporarily) transitions to a written-only publication in a few weeks. If you have a story that fits our general approach and tone, please get in touch: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TjKuL5mLiqYqy5TOHm2aw9PpxCVApB5qqEKPHIL3TdM/
The document has a list of some of the pieces we've published—like our most recent from Kayti Burt, a fantastic meditation on the extra-precarious position of fan-journalists in an already precarious industry: https://www.fansplaining.com/articles/the-fan-journalist-tightrope
Also note that we're transparent about rates here—we're funded by patrons, and while we're VERY grateful for that support, we can't afford pay a ton or publish super frequently. If you're interested in sponsoring smart, substantive fandom journalism in the future, please reach out!
