Pitch notes

No unsolicited nonfiction pitches or articles. Open freelance channels are fiction (reopens Nov 1, 2026), poetry, Shouts & Murmurs, cartoons. So 'closed' for criticism.

Our take: coming soon. Spot something out of date? Tell us. Always confirm on the outlet's own page before pitching; pages change without notice.
