Diyora Shadijanova, Opinion and Personal Essay Editor of gal-dem, is looking for pitches
I'm looking for some really interesting mental health pitches for gal-dem's First Person section! Please think through your angle and avoid generic topics we have covered before. I wish I had unlimited budget but I don't!
Only pitch via this form: https://gal-dem.com/about/#pitch
As always—a reminder that gal-dem is a publication committed to telling the stories of people of colour from marginalised genders.
Just saying this now that if you don't hear back immediately/get a rejection email, it's 99% not your pitch, but my limited ability to commission a number of pieces and having to pick between very very good ideas.
Rates: As always, £80 for 800 words.
