COMPANY/PUBLICATION: LOOPBREAK

Deadline (est): 15 April 2023

Donovan Erskine, Editor in Chief of LoopBreak, is looking for pitches:

LoopBreak is looking for freelance pitches! Specifically, I'm looking for Black writers to pitch reviews (AAA and indie) and features about the intersection of black culture and video games. Send pitches and a writing sample to Donovan [at] loopbreak [dot] gg.

Compensation: We're offering $200 for features and reviews (800-1000 words). This can be negotiated up for larger projects. No need to have professional writing experience, we're happy to be your first byline. Samples can be anything that shows off your skills/voice.

Deadline: No hard deadline at the moment, but I plan to field pitches at least through April.
