Pitches Wanted (Political Left) (Worldwide) | $150+ per article

Send us a pitch! If you’re interested in submitting to Protean, we would be happy to consider your work for publication on our website or in our annual print issues. We offer pay for all criticism, journalism, essays, reviews, interviews, etc. that we publish. Exposure doesn’t pay the bills—we believe in recognizing the labor involved in this work, and we do our best to compensate our freelancers fairly. Protean’s web and print contributors are all paid in full before publication. If you’re interested in submitting criticism, news analysis, essays, or film or book reviews, send your pitch or your draft to submissions[at]proteanmag.com. Drafts should be sent as an attached .doc file. We typically look for pieces that are longer than 1,700 words and no longer than 4,500. Rare exceptions can be made, so please explain if a higher word count is absolutely essential. However, in general, we would much prefer that your article falls within the above range. The base rate for criticism, news analysis, reviews, and essays that are published online is $200; the base rate for interviews is $150. We will offer increased compensation for pieces that require extra revisions, reporting, research, or other labor. Rates are negotiable. Open to international writers? Yes, of course!
