Pitches wanted (animals, floods) | $500+ per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: ORION MAGAZINE

Deadline: 31 July 2023

Our next pitch submission window will run from July 15 – July 31, 2023.

This time we will specifically be looking to read pitches for essays and reporting about animals and floods. How is marine life impacted by water reaching the shore? What are the interesting ways you’ve observed land animals responding to water? We’re looking for pitches for stories that would be 3,000 to 4,000 words in length for an issue of Orion looking with fresh eyes at the floods around us. Please try to keep pitches to 500 words or so.

Submissions open below on July 15th. Please write to submissions@orionmagazine.org with any questions.

Thank you for your interest in sharing your work with Orion.
