Alula Hunsen, Editorial Manager at Boston Ujima Project, is looking for pitches:

Peace peace peace; I recently started as an editorial manager at the Boston Uhima Project, producing and editing content for our Medium page and monthly Wire newsletter (alongside working on new solidarity economy publication fortunately.us)... and we're now taking pitches!

Head to this link to see our submission guidelines: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xFc39UuQ0YMwLSazw32_gw3yBYjYrOOpv4NsUWXuNa0/edit.

And head to this Google form to send us your pitches and ideas: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfbnejOQBXpJoSMohrAbsPwQNgs4kmtTne_UICB6TJQTNyiPQ/viewform

In short: we're open to essays, poems, and other literary forms that speak to Boston's working class communities.

Pay rates are in the submission guidelines, but are also as follows: Pieces that run in the WIRE are compensated at $200 to $300, or $0.30 per word for pieces longer than 1,000 words. Payment is determined by factors such as length, prior publication, and format.
