Pitches wanted (Asian American art, culture) | 40 cents per word

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: THE AMP

Share your stories with us! Email TheAmp@aaartsalliance.org with your pitch to get involved. We’re partial to strong analyses and voice-driven narratives. While we generally steer clear of the mainstream, our cultural scope is broad and inclusive, showcasing fine art, performances, writing, film, music, and everything in between.

When emailing, please include the pitch category in the subject line (ie: Photo Essay, Review, Profile, Interview) followed by a pithy potential title. It should look something like, “Profile Pitch: This Year’s Greatest Story Was Written by My Dog.”

From there, describe what and why you are pitching in 3-5 sentences; what is the story and why is it important for The Amp to cover? Please include any relevant time pegs as well as an estimated word count.

Finally, introduce yourself! Relevant bylines are always appreciated.

The Amp offers flat fees at a rate of $.40 per word, rounded down to the nearest hundred words.

We look forward to hearing from you.
