COMPANY/PUBLICATION: SALT, SOIL & SUPPER

Deadline: 8 September 2023

Salt, Soil and Supper is back, bigger and accepting pitches! SSS has expanded beyond the newsletter and is now a section at Scalawag.

We are relaunching with a call for pitches for the inaugural SSS Almanac, our flagship quarterly issue.

Envisioned as a contemporary take on the classic farmer’s almanac, Scalawag’s Salt, Soil and Supper almanac seeks to collect the stories and practices that have “kept” the south in the face of antiBlack, settler colonial, fascist state violence and disaster for generations.

This includes narratives and creative contributions that emphasize the traditions, practices, festivities, and lenses of critique that have allowed Southerners to persevere in the face of hostile physical, political and cultural environments.

We are open to fiction, non-fiction, and poetry submissions, as well as multimedia short film, audio, digital art, multimedia and photo essays, and social media specific content.

Please submit all pitches via the official form here on the Scalawag site.

Rate depends on the type of submission—art, poetry, long or short form essay, multimedia etc. however, the majority of submissions will range from $500-1500.

CONTACT INFORMATION:
