The Margins, the magazine by the Asian American Writers’ Workshop, is seeking journalism pitches for work on Asian immigrant and Muslim communities. They have a detailed pitch guide for this section, including, “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.” They pay $60-450, see their rates here. The pitch call for Open City is here.
