Pitches wanted (politics, culture) (worldwide) | $300 to $700 per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: THE BAFFLER 

Zachariah Webb, Web Editor at The Baffler, is looking for pitches:

I am now the web editor of The Baffler Mag—so pitch me! Proposals animated by lucid rage and abiding disgruntlement (but not without grace and humor) are to be expected and duly considered. Homosexuals and women to be given special priority. (zach@thebaffler.com)

We're absolutely dedicated to international stories and perspectives. We publish writers from across the world.

CONFIDENTIAL NOTE: Reports indicate that this opportunity will pay $300-$700 per piece, depending on scope and scale of the piece, as well as the experience of the writer.

CONTACT INFORMATION (please do not share the email address publicly):

• Submissions: zach@thebaffler.com
• Website: https://thebaffler.com/

TO HELP YOU CRAFT YOUR PITCH:

• Learn more about the publication: The Baffler is America’s leading voice of interesting and unexpected left-wing political criticism, cultural analysis, short stories, poems and art. Its regular subjects include Silicon Valley snake-oil, the deadening weight of consumer capitalism, our faithless media, and the redemptive promise of people claiming control of their own lives. More information here.
  
• Read through a selection of recent articles/stories on its website.
  Review the submission guidelines here. Note that these are the publication's general guidelines to help you refine your pitch. You must still follow the editor's specific instructions above.
  Check out our collection of pitch excerpts on this page and find more sample pitches at The Open Notebook Database and at SuccessfulPitches.com.
  Do not forget to end your pitch with (1) a short introduction about yourself; (2) a few lines highlighting your writing experience, relevant credentials and publication credits; and (3) links to your strongest work or portfolio, and online profile.
