Bay Area Current covers working-class life and culture across the Bay Area and is composed of four sections: culture, labor, politics, and anti-tech. They are looking for: a local angle, voicey writing, directness, a sense of place, stakes, good characters, things they’ve never read about before. According to their pitch guide, they pay $50 for a short piece (< 800 words), $100 for a medium piece (800-1,500 words), and $200 for longer reported features (1,500 words +). They pay $100 for 800-1,000 word op-eds. To learn more, refer to this page.
