Overland is open for submissions

This Australian print and online magazine is currently accepting pitches and completed non-fiction articles (800-1,200 words) for their online magazine on these themes:
-- Essays on climate politics and grassroots organising: “2020 was a hell of a year, with issues such as the American election and the global pandemic demanding a lot of focus. We’d love to hear about long-term organising projects and issues the community needs to know about that might not have had a recent spotlight.”
-- Smart essays on TV shows, films or videogames: “As with books, what we look for is seldom a review that focuses on the merits or demerits of a single text, unless it is uniquely topical or culturally significant. Rather, we favour expansive review essays that make connections between different texts, in an out of their specific, individual art form.”
Writers are also welcome to pitch articles outside of these themes. Their mission is to foster new, original and progressive writing exploring the relationship between politics and culture, especially literature. Editorially, they are committed to publishing underrepresented perspectives on issues rarely given space in traditional media. Contributors are paid AUD120 per article published on the website.
