TO HELP YOU CRAFT YOUR PITCH:
- Learn more about the publication: Contingent is a non-profit history magazine that is rooted in a principle that history is for everyone. While a lot of publishers and magazines think the audience for history is pretty narrow, Contingent thinks everyone can understand and find meaning in stories about the past. Contingent takes a much broader view of relevance and publishes pieces about such topics as dinosaur hunting, women’s wrestling gear, coal mines, and embroidery. More information here.
- Read through a selection of recent stories/articles on its website.
- Review the submission guidelines here.
- Check out our collection of pitch excerpts on this page and find more sample pitches at The Open Notebook Database 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.
