Frequently Asked Questions

If you have a performance, event, exhibition or show happening within the greater Baltimore area, we’d love to hear about it and help you get the word out to our audience. To add it to our free public calendar, please submit all event details to Rebecca Juliette ([email protected]).

To reach the editorial team for press releases, pitches, corrections, comments, etc., email Publisher/Editor-in-Chief Cara Ober ([email protected]), Contributing Editor Michael Anthony Farley ([email protected]), and/or Editor Chelsea Lemon Fetzer ([email protected]).

To get in touch about advertising, distribution, and partnerships, contact Coordinator of Community & Media Partnerships Aya Dixon ([email protected]).

If there is an opening, talk, or event you would like to invite us to attend, please provide at least one month’s notice.

Our print journal comes out twice a year (fall and spring) and it is thematic and designed to be evergreen. This means that exhibition reviews, projects on a constrained timeline, or news-related content is a better fit for our online magazine. Our editorial team decides our print content based on the theme of the issue and we strive to create a balance in each issue, and this process is collaborative.

Writers: Please send all pitches for online stories to Contributing Editors Michael Anthony Farley ([email protected]), and Chelsea Lemon Fetzer ([email protected]). Follow these guidelines as you write your pitch:

• A few sentences or a paragraph about your subject/story idea: Who or what is it? Why them? Why now?
• Are you envisioning it as a review, essay, reported piece? Some kind of hard-to-classify hybrid form?
• If pitching a review, please provide the pertinent dates, i.e. how long the exhibition is up, or when the book comes out, or when the album is released, or any other relevant time frame.
• If pitching a profile, essay, or any other piece that involves research or reporting, include information about your sources—who or what are they, what are their connections to the topic? Also tell us if there’s a time peg to the story.
• Tell us a little bit about yourself. Provide at least two writing clips, ideally ones that exemplify your writing style and critical thinking skills, that relate formally or stylistically to your pitch. If you haven’t had your work published yet, that’s ok! Just send us your best writing.

Photographers: Please send a link to a website of your photographs or share a Dropbox file with 20 images to Cara Ober ([email protected]).

We will contact you if we are interested in working with you. Due to the volume of proposals we receive we cannot provide personal feedback. Thank you for understanding.

We do not exchange editorial content for advertising—you cannot pay for coverage of your project, exhibition, or event.

Writers who have a previous or ongoing relationship with their subject should disclose this to the editor. Whether the relationship involves money, labor, or friendship, the editor must know about these before confirming a writing assignment. Such conflicts of interest may involve the rejection of a pitch, cancellation of an assignment, or reworking a story’s form and/or angle.

We are proud to pay our contributors a stipend for all content assigned and agreed upon by our team, which starts at $150 a story for new contributors and more for regular contributors.

You can purchase the most recent print issue as well as back issues in our online shop or locally at any of our partner vendors:
