2024 Contributor Pitches

Keen to get creative over the summer break? We’re on the lookout for some cracking new online content in 2024 – and we want to hear from you!

We’re currently accepting non-fiction pitches for GR Online, our online publishing platform. This is where we showcase short (1,000–1,500 words) pieces of commentary, analysis and critique on subjects as diverse, esoteric or topical as you like (check out the GR Online homepage to get an idea of what we’ve published over the last year).

We want new perspectives, original thinking and a healthy dose of stylistic flair. If this sounds like you, here’s what to send us by the call-out closing date:

a short (no more than 100 words) biographical statement
up to three short pitches (no more than 150 words each) for potential 2024 pieces
a short (no more than 500 words) writing sample that shows us what wordsmith wizardry you can bring to GR Online.

We’d particularly welcome pitches from First Nations writers. We’d also welcome pitches from members of the d/Deaf and disabled writing communities. (Please let us know if you have accessibility requirements or need us to make adjustments to the submission process.)

We pay $500 per article. We’ll notify our successful writers by early February 2024.

Submissions close at 11.59PM AEST on Sunday 7 January and should be made via Submittable.
