Hi Scott, I would love to write for you but I would be reticent to submit a tailored 2000-word article without knowing it would be accepted, so are you happy with a detailed pitch?
For this call, it's completed pieces only. But we do allow simultaneous submissions, so you're welcome to submit it here and elsewhere at the same time. If it gets accepted somewhere first, just let us know.
Just to be clear, if the submitted story is an essay, is it entirely without photos, as opposed to the 'photo essay'? And are accepted stories locked in for some time period before they can be used elsewhere?
Yes, essays are text only. If accepted, we might ask for a cover image, but that's later. On rights 90 day exclusivity after publication then all rights revert to you.
Wow! That's wonderful news and an amazing project! I'll be definitely looking forward to submitting as well. Thank you, Scott!
Thank you Daniela for your support and for submitting!

I don't understand something. Are you looking for pitches or for completed pieces?
Completed pieces. Submissions are read blind, so the work itself is the pitch.
I like this idea, and your mission statement on your site. I definitely would like to take part.
Hi Brad, thank you for the kind words and checking out the full site. Look forward to your submission(s).
