Pitches wanted (environments of film/tv) | $500+ per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: ORION MAGAZINE

Deadline: 15 January 2024

Story pitches and submissions open January 1 to January 15, 2024.

From January 1 to 15, we will be open to pitches for essays on the environments of film and television. Send us your story ideas about the viewing experiences that sharpened your view of nature — watching climate disasters in blockbuster movies, inhabiting the landscapes of the drive-in, or researching the carbon footprint of streaming. Please note that we are looking for nonfiction pitches, not full stories. Submit at the link below.

Please write to submissions@orionmagazine.org with any questions.

CONFIDENTIAL NOTE: Reports indicate that Orion Magazine pays $500+ per piece. It is recommended that you discuss the rate(s) with the editor upon the acceptance of your pitch.
