Please send all pitches (no more than 250 words) to latinxproject@nyu.edu by November 12, 2023. Include a brief biography (100 words or less) with your pitch.  Selected writers will undergo an editorial process that will include at least two rounds of edits with the Intervenxions editorial team. 

If for any reason the selected piece does not get published, writers will be offered a kill fee equivalent to half of the honorarium.

*Contributors receive an honorarium of $400-500 for original essays, which we currently prioritize over interviews and reviews.
