Other / Editorial

Editorial work is writing that speaks to art that cannot typically be translated directly onto a page in a magazine. This includes film, music, dance, performance art, comedy, etc.

For editorial features, we are looking for…

• Fully formed pitches that fulfill the following requirements:

  • A description of the local artist they intend to write a profile on

  • How that artist is in conversation with a larger theme, scene and/or idea

  • A critical analysis of that theme, scene and/or idea and how it relates to the world as a whole 

• An anticipated word count of 2,000 to 5,000 words

• Please note: we will be accepting creative collaborations across all mediums, if you are interested in writing a piece about a more obscure art form, we highly recommend following that inspiration

What we are asking for is cultural criticism and dialogue; think of this as your opportunity to creatively flex!

For Issue No. 6 (coming out in spring, 2025), we will accept a total of five editorial pieces.

To pitch, please email hello@currantjam.org with the below information:

• The email subject as “Currant Jam Submission – Your Name”

• Include your name, pronouns & the city where you live

• Your pitch (see above “General Information” section for guidelines)

• Links to at least one recent writing sample by the writer(s) of the piece (features/non-fiction preferred, but any form of writing will be considered)

• Examples of recent work (links to videos, photographs, or whatever best shows the work that the piece will highlight)

• Short bio for each artist involved

• Relevant social media handles

  
  

  We are looking for a word count of 2,000 to 5,000 words on the final piece
