Freelance Writer Guidelines

Mother Jones is seeking pitches for our print culture section Mixed Media, especially those that examine structures of power, explore identity, or illuminate cultural undercurrents. These could take several forms. Our reported essays weave together media critique, historical/literary research, interviews, and/or personal narrative to make a clear argument. Deadline: Ongoing, but for ideas to be considered for our summer July/Aug issue, I’d need to hear by April 8. For more information, visit their website. Before applying, review submission guidelines. Email all questions and submissions to Maddie Oatman, Senior Editor at Mother Jones at: moatman@motherjones.com
