COMPANY/PUBLICATION: NEW LINES MAGAZINE

Rasha Al Aqeedi, Middle East Deputy Editor at New Lines Magazine, is looking for pitches

CALL FOR PITCHES: New Lines Magazine publishes essays that offer an overlooked angle on a current affair, developing news story, cultural phenomenon, and more. I'm looking for stories from the MENA region, particularly the Gulf, to commission. Email ralaqeedi@newlinesmag.com

Our spotlight section (shorter, more commentary-focused) are $600, but regular essays start at $800.
