SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Send pitches to box@newmusicusa.org. The deadline to submit pitches is January 10, 2022.

Please submit pitches along with 2 samples of previously existing work in the same format as that of the proposal you’re submitting.

We highly recommend reviewing previously published “how to” content here.

Pitches should clearly and concisely convey the idea you plan to write about and why it matters. The best pitches display that you have deep knowledge of the topic, that you have an unmistakable sense of the angle or insight you plan to pursue, and that you can demonstrate all of that in only a couple of paragraphs. Pitches should also be written in the style you expect to approach the topic.

Submissions to NewMusicBox should be topical and relevant to our publication and follow accepted standards of digital communication. All submissions are subject to a moderation process that verifies material is appropriate and topical. The Editorial Team screens all incoming submissions and may reject manuscripts without further review, or review and reject manuscripts at any time in the editing/reviewing process.

Authors are expected to self-submit.

You will be contacted by an editor if your pitch is accepted. We plan to respond by the end of January 2022 so thank you in advance for your patience as we carefully review submissions.
