Pitches wanted (queer culture) | £150+ per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: MATERIAL QUEER

Deadline: 29 February 2024

Damian Kerlin, Founder of Material Queer, is looking for pitches:

I am looking to commission LGBTQ+ writers covering queer culture, from interviews to features and reviews to hot new takes for Material Queer. I am looking for evergreen, niche and current, but if it is the latter make sure it has a strong hook. Email hello@damiankerlin.com

Have a wee look at our website at what has been published to date. The deadline is 29th February but I will be getting back to people throughout the month. This is a paid opportunity, starting at £150. UK only (for now!)

CONTACT INFORMATION (please do not share the email address publicly):

TO HELP YOU CRAFT YOUR PITCH:

• 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.
• Read through a selection of recent articles/stories on its website.
• Check out our collection of pitch excerpts on this page and find more sample pitches at The Open Notebook and at SuccessfulPitches.com.
