Pitching to Dispatch is simple. All we want to know is why our readers should care about your subject, and why you’re the best person to write about it.

Your article might take the form of a reported feature, a long-form interview or an investigation. It might be narrative-driven, or something more experimental. We’re open to pretty much anything — though draw the line at haikus (for now).

But do bear in mind Dispatch’s mission: to tell untold stories about people, places and ideas on the world’s peripheries — all with a double-shot of frontier spirit thrown in.

Are you a journalist with a great idea for a high-impact story that “Follows the Money” but few resources to get it done? The McGraw Fellowship for Business Journalism would like to hear from you.

The Harold W. McGraw, Jr. Center for Business Journalism provides experienced journalists with grants up to $15,000 and the editorial support needed to produce deeply reported enterprise and investigative stories with a strong economic, financial or business angle. You don’t need to be a business reporter to apply — many of our previous Fellows have been generalists, or cover beats such as health care, education or the environment. Others have focused on issues such as economic inequality or corporate accountability.

Given the enormous changes in federal spending and policy priorities now coming out of the new administration in Washington DC, we are particularly interested during the Spring 2025 round of Fellowships in story proposals that examine the impact of these changes.

The upcoming deadline to apply for Spring 2025 Fellowships is April 14, 2025. 

We consider proposals from both freelance and staff journalists in all forms of media — text, audio, photo, and short-form video — and encourage those that combine formats to create a multimedia package. We look for projects that focus on important local or regional topics, as well as those that tackle compelling national or international stories or report on under-covered communities or issues. Journalists from diverse backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply.

Seeking an experienced Brand Systems Writer (8-10+years) to help us build a full, robust, and highly strategic narrative system that stands the test of time for our B2B fintech company.

You’re an elite brand writer who excels not only at Voice (with a capital “V”), but also has experience taking complex, technical, and often opaque product narratives and crafting an exciting brand voice that’s precise, ownable, and differentiated in the “sea of sameness” that is B2B.

You’re obsessed with details most people don’t even notice — things like the architecture of a sentence, or how a single word can shift perception. You write with the clever intelligence of The Economist, the sly wit of The New Yorker, and the confidence of a true category challenger. Your work doesn’t just define voice—it creates a "smile in the mind" for the reader. It makes them remember you.

If you’re experienced at building brand systems that define how billion-dollar companies communicate, then this is the role for you. Bonus points if you’ve written for deeply technical, highly analytical audiences (think private equity, venture capital, and startups) but still know how to spark emotion. Let's connect!

NOTE: We’re naturally looking for something highly specific in this role. Please only apply with work that allows our team to see your experience at writing cut-through brand systems, with a mastery of voice and tone that underlies every part of your work.

The Winter 2025-26 issue of The Stinging Fly, due to publish in November 2025, will have a special focus on the climate crisis, where we will showcase visionary, provocative, and original new work about the climate and the endangered future of our planet. 

We now invite pitches for pieces of creative non-fiction engaging with this topic. Your pitch, which should be submitted through this form, should clearly outline what you wish to write about, how you intend to develop it, and what will make your essay effective, unique or compelling. 

Pitches will be accepted until 5pm, 31st March 2025.

We never need an excuse to lean into love, but this is something a little different than we’ve done before and it has us all aflutter.

The Narratively x Belletrist True Romance Writing Prize will award remarkable memoir and reported stories, from love quadrangles, to lost-and-found soulmates, to unthinkable sacrifices and bizarre romantic connections that defy all odds. We’re seeking completely new perspectives that shift our understanding of romance and relationships and reignite our pride about being human in 2025. We’ll even be teaming up with Emma and the Belletrist crew to develop our favorite stories for the screen!

Room Magazine invites unpublished writing on any theme for our open issue 48.4, edited by Sadie Graham, Natasha Gauthier, Fran Pacchiano, and Chimedum Ohaegbu. 

Without prescription or limitation, we want to see your best work. Work that takes risks, with language that surprises. Lately we’ve been thinking about: urgency, and the failure to be urgent; mistakes; complicity; consequences; the texture and feeling of the present; the lingering of the past; Afrosurrealism; Indigenous futurism; what the world will look like when Palestine is free; critical Canadiana, grounded in place, amid this surge of nationalism; feel-bad fiction, formal poetry, deeply-researched essays, and hybrid forms.

Underrepresented writers—including but not exclusive to women (cis and trans), trans men, Two-Spirit and non-binary writers who are Black, Indigenous, People of Colour, queer, and/or disabled—are particularly encouraged to submit.

Before submitting, please read our About section to see if your work fits within Room’s mandate, then refer to the Submission Guidelines on how to format your work. 

Submissions open February 28th and will be accepted on a rolling basis until we reach our submissions limit.
