Grit City Magazine is “dedicated to uncovering and sharing the rich stories of Tacoma, celebrating its history, people, and unique local culture.” They’re seeking stories:

“We’re looking for writers, poets, speakers, photographers, painters, illustrators, and anyone else who doesn’t fit easily into a single genre. If you have a story that needs some time in the sun and you’ve got some skills, we want to hear from you. Prior experience is not required.”

Story priorities:

“Tacoma is a complex city—that’s what makes it worth talking about. We prioritize stories that showcase unexpected nuance, underrepresented views, and intersectionality. No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, diversity, equity, and inclusion make this city a more interesting place to live. If you have something to say about race, gender expression, socioeconomic status, age, national origin, religion, disability, or sexual orientation, we want to hear it.”
