Pitches wanted (marketing/engagement for writers) | $125 to $250 CAD per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: WORDWORKS

Deadline: 3 July 2023

The theme for our fall 2023 issue is "Amplify! Marketing, Promo, and Engagement for Writers."

At every career stage, writers seek ways to expand the reach and engagement of their work. This issue will explore small steps and big strategies for making noise with your writing.

Amplifying can look like many things: from nurturing an audience to developing an author persona, creating a marketing plan or planning a book launch, delivering workshops or stepping up to an open mic. We welcome your pitches for articles with practical advice or thoughtful perspectives on how we can best share our work with the world.

Please submit up to three pitches (150 words max per pitch) through the Submittable form.

The deadline for submissions is July 3 at 11:59pm PDT.

WordWorks pays $125 for articles of 400–600 words and $250 for articles of 800–1,100 words. We will consider longer features as well. These rates may change in future issues.

We prioritize submissions from Federation of BC Writers members but welcome submissions from all writers with a connection to British Columbia or Yukon.

WORDWORKS WELCOMES DIVERSE STORYTELLERS

WordWorks strives to serve all BC and Yukon writers by publishing articles that reflect diverse experiences. We celebrate submissions from underrepresented communities and are seeking contributions from writers of all races, genders, sexualities, abilities, neurodiversities, religions, socioeconomic statuses, or immigration statuses. We encourage submissions from both published and emerging writers. We believe our strength as a community is in the breadth of our stories.

If you feel comfortable disclosing your identities, we encourage you to do so in your cover letter. All disclosures will be treated as confidential.

SIMULTANEOUS SUBMISSIONS

We accept simultaneous submissions. Please let us know as soon as possible if another journal accepts your work for publication.
