Uppercut is "a games and media site devoted to punching up through high quality content that focuses on highlighting marginalized voices and great criticism." Its End of Year Letters package continues a tradition of writers talking about the games they loved this past year, whether new releases or titles they finally got around to. Pitches open on the final Monday of November (November 30) and close the first Friday of December (December 4). Pieces will publish in January and February. Pay is $100 per piece, with no set word count. Uppercut doesn't accept work created with generative AI tools in any way.
