Pitches wanted (books) | $150 for features

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: FULL STOP MAGAZINE

Emily Alex, Managing Editor at Full Stop Magazine, is looking for pitches:

Full Stop Magazine, a forum for writing on contemporary small press literature and literature in translation, is looking for reviewers, interviewers, and essayists. Since 2011, we have sought to support the work of critics, small presses, and the aesthetically, linguistically, and socially marginalized communities of writers they represent.

We aren't currently able to pay writers for reviews. However, we think that the serious editorial support and freedom we're able to provide to our critics to creatively engage with books and pursue their interests and projects in the process makes Full Stop an attractive site for writers nonetheless. If you are interested in wring for site but aren't able to do so for free, we do pay quite competitively for features ($150 per essay) and would be open to pitches for features pieces as well. Examples of features can be found here: https://www.full-stop.net/category/features/

If you're interested in contributing, please reach out to managing editor Emily Alex at emily@full-stop.net, or to the relevant section editors http://www.full-stop.net/masthead/

We would be happy to send you a list of books that we're looking to have covered in the coming months, or to hear your pitches.
