Boo!

Dear Design Observer contributor network, 

As Spooky Season creeps ever closer, we’re seeking pitches from design practitioners and journalists on The Design of Horror | The Horror of Design.

Whether you’re seduced by the scary or shy away from it, we want your take on the most chilling and thrilling ways that horror and design intersect. What cursed objects, theories, trends, policies, or people are haunting today’s designers? What horrors from history, and harbingers of frights still to come, should we be paying attention to? How can we dredge up enough final-girl energy to confront these resident evils?

We welcome art-eds, op-eds, criticism, reported articles, and multimedia work from professional designers and journalists. See our pitch guide for more on what types of stories will make us bite. Also check out some of our archival horror coverage for inspiration, and sign up for our weekly newsletter The Observatory to get a deeper sense of our sensibilities.

Pitch us here by 9/22. We’ll commission stories on a rolling basis through the beginning of October.

📣 Call for Pitches: “The Moment I Knew I Had to Make Writing My Job”

💰 $1/word | 500 words | Published on the GuestStack column here at ✍️ Make Writing Your Job

You know the moment.

Maybe it was staring down your 86th rejected job application.

Maybe it was your boss calling you “chatty” in a Zoom performance review.

Maybe it was after your first paid piece — $200 to write about composting toilets, and suddenly? You believed.

We’re looking for personal essays about that electric, uncomfortable, defiant, or joyful moment when you realized:

I’m not doing this anymore. I’m going to be a writer.

Whether you’ve built a six-figure freelance business or are still chasing your first byline, we want the real story of how you crossed the threshold. Not the polished version — the messy, mundane, magnificent truth.

What we want:

• Pitches for personal essays (that upon selection, the chosen writer will write a 500-word essay) with voice, insight, and tension

• Stories rooted in your writing or freelancing life

• A-ha moments that feel universal and yet intensely personal (specific details > vague platitudes)

• Pieces that teach us something, not just tell us something

What we pay:

💸 $500 flat ($1/word for 500 words)

✨ PLUS: Publication to an audience of 9,000+ subscribers here on ✍️ Make Writing Your Job.
