Next winter’s issue of Orion will explore romance on a changing planet. Send us a pitch (no more than a page or two) for a story at the intersection of romance, food, and climate disaster -- whether it's eating an endangered banana split with your spouse, falling in love at a seed bank, or sourcing sustainable chocolate for Valentine's Day. Surprise us! We are not accepting poetry submissions or general prose submissions at this time. Thank you for your interest in sharing your work with Orion. Please write to submissions@orionmagazine.org with any lingering questions. All of our print essays are paid assignments, beginning at $500 for the shortest pieces and increasing from there.
