COMPANY/PUBLICATION: SHELFY

Michael Kelly, Founder of Shelfy, is looking for pitches: 

Today we're launching Shelfy Editorial. As the digital media decline continues, we're carving out a refuge for thoughtful criticism that inspires intentional engagement with culture and each other.

We need a positive space for thoughtful cultural discussions now more than ever. If you’re a culture lover looking for honest, insightful criticism, we think you’ll like what we have in store at Shelfy.

And if you’re a writer looking for a new home, we're now accepting pitches. Rates start at $0.50/word.

We're collecting pitches here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf_2HdeDFGWHBBN56yUcLm8eaTYnYKE5w2Rvbut9iONOINGvw/viewform

TO HELP YOU CRAFT YOUR PITCH:

• Learn more about the publication: Shelfy Editorial brings post-metrics thesis to the forefront of cultural criticism. It is a platform where culture is dissected and celebrated through the lens of its long-term resonance rather than short-term relevance. Expect features on everything from overlooked music scenes and underrepresented artists, to broader cultural trends and undercurrents. More information here.

• Review the submission guidelines here. Note that these are the publication's general guidelines to help you refine your pitch. You must still follow the editor's specific instructions above.

• Check out our collection of pitch excerpts on this page and find more sample pitches at The Open Notebook and at SuccessfulPitches.com.

• Do not forget to end your pitch with (1) a short introduction about yourself; (2) a few lines highlighting your writing experience, relevant credentials and publication credits; and (3) links to your strongest work or portfolio, and online profile.
