Pitch notes
Pitches or finished essays via Submittable. Pay NOT stated on the Submittable page; figure is from NBCC sheet (updated 7/16/26). Cultural criticism incl. books, theatre, music, art; no tear-downs without substance.
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 Spot something out of date?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.
