- CALL FOR PITCHES: Longreads wants your words! We take essay submissions, feature pitches, reading list ideas, and other queries, and we pay competitive rates for accepted work. Here’s a 🧵 of what the editors are looking for:
- "I was late and slow. A slow learner. But not as late as her. I love to tell her story because people—particularly women—need to hear that you can start late." Ursula K. Le Guin
- "I believe that gifted editors are rarer than talented reporters. If you have the knack for it, I just wanna say: go for it. I really want to give you a nudge of encouragement in that direction. It’s a wonderful job and journalism needs you." longreads.com/2019/01/10/sto… @iraglass
- "It is hard to believe something is possible if you have never seen it happen before. Now we’ve seen it happen. Now we know." Twelve #longreads on @Ocasio2018, compiled by @danielleiat:
- "Even if you think Anne Boleyn was a king-seducing homewrecker extraordinaire, it’s impossible not to appreciate the sheer audacity of it all." @anne_theriault's #QueensOfInfamy series is back!
- "No one who saw it wished to see it again, although, of course, many saw it again." @TomJunod @esquire #September11 esquire.com/news-politics/…
- "Kpop has been my candy-colored distraction from the angst of feeling trapped, but it has also, in the person of Mino, rather unexpectedly led me to a glimmer of an answer." @wendyqgan #FineLines (Illustration by @HulloJackie) longreads.com/2019/10/30/lea…
