The Margins is “a magazine of literature, arts, and ideas, dedicated to inventing the Asian American creative culture of tomorrow.” They’re seeking pitches and submissions to Open City:
“The Margins seeks pitches and submissions to Open City, its journalism section devoted to chronicling the pulse of Asian America. Through articles, features, interviews, and profiles, Open City covers Asian immigrant and Muslim communities with an emphasis on social, racial, and gender justice issues.
While Open City previously focused on the lived stories of Asian communities in the boroughs of New York City, we are now eager to accept pitches about communities in cities and towns all over the United States. We also welcome internationally reported stories.
We are looking for shoeleather reporting, hybrid essays, personality and place profiles, features, narrative storytelling, and more.”
Rates range from $150 to $450 per piece. To learn more, refer to their call for submissions and rate sheet.
