For all you Substackers, prolific journalers, or anyone who wants to share their stories: we are open to pitches!
What are we looking for: Any personal writing with a casual tone. Some examples: a day or week in the life, a behind-the-scenes look on a project you are working on, or a stream of consciousness piece. Anything outside the box is highly encouraged. Remember, the personal tone is what differentiates this from other Sinister Wisdom publications.
What we are not looking for: Works of fiction; hyperbole is more than welcome, but must be rooted in fact. Traditional reviews; you can go visit our friends at Wild Shrew Literary Review for that. Academic works; while posts can relate to academia, they should not be academic in nature.
How to pitch: Email blog@sinisterwisdom.org with any pitches or inquiries. Feel free to send a paragraph describing what you would like to write about, or full pieces for consideration.
We here at the Sinister Wisdom Blog look forward to hearing from you!
