We're looking for journalists based in the Americas who can deliver impactful and timely stories on LGBTQ+ issues within their country. We publish features/analysis pieces, all paid and ≈900 words.

If we’re being completely frank, we don’t get outside enough to be able to write up all the stories filling Trails on our own—we’re too busy actually making the magazine, after all. That’s why we’re always interested in hearing story ideas from writers, photographers, artists, and other creatives like you. 

Interested? The easiest way to get a sense of what the magazine is to read it and we'd encourage you to start there. But in addition to that, here’s what you need to know to pitch us. 

We’re delighted you’re interested in writing for us. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the website before querying us and to follow our guidelines below. You can read more about JSTOR Daily here.

If you’ve found your way here because you read the site and are interested in submitting, welcome. We are open to long-form feature pitches and column ideas for January 2023 and beyond. We also occasionally need new writers for short, “quick read” pieces, reading lists, and other content. See details below.

We are an extremely small team and have been getting dozens of spam articles that are plagiarized from the internet. Because of this, we are unable to respond to pitches that don’t follow our guidelines or to pitches that include articles that have already been written.
