Pitches wanted (feminism, innovation, enterprise) | ~$500 to $1,500 per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: LIISBETH

Please note our contributor guidelines have changed since our merger with rabble.ca April 1, 2023.

We are an online magazine yet publish a bit like a record label-periodically. Articles are always about feminism, innovation, enterprise and critiques of policies and systems that drive inequality. We are trans inclusive and intersectional feminists-full stop.

LiisBeth/rabble.ca welcomes queries from professional and emerging feminist writers and artists anywhere along the gender continuum. We prioritize submissions from womxn, trans, queer-identified writers, community voices and journalists.

Payment varies per article.

We prioritize queries from creators who believe in our mission by demonstrating they have actually read a few articles in the magazine before submitting a query, or who are members of the Feminist Enterprise Commons, and/or become newsletter subscribers (it’s free).

If you want to pitch a story, we need a query or idea summary which includes a brief summary (150-250 words) plus the opening paragraph or nutgraph, who you plan to interview, and how you plan to go about researching for the piece (if appropriate). If you are new to us, please also send a sample of previously published or your best work from your blog or website.

Send queries and pitches and questions to nick@rabble.ca. Include the word QUERY in the subject line.  This will increase speed of response.

CONFIDENTIAL NOTE: Reports indicate that Liisbeth/Rabble pays $700 to $2,000 CAD per article. It is recommended that you discuss the rate(s) with the editor upon the acceptance of your pitch.
