Open Call: Nonfiction (Deadline: March 1, 2022)

Paper Brigade considers orig­i­nal, unpub­lished non­fic­tion between 1,500 and 2,500 words.

Please sub­mit a com­plete man­u­script, not a pitch.

Pieces should involve at least one 2022 book, and we encour­age authors to be cre­ative about the ways in which they accom­plish this. (We’re not look­ing for straight­for­ward book reviews.) The major­i­ty of our arti­cles fea­ture more than one book, and they often dis­cuss trends in cur­rent lit­er­a­ture or explore books in the con­text of old­er traditions.

Authors are also remind­ed that their pieces will be pub­lished sev­er­al months after they are sub­mit­ted, so ref­er­ences to spe­cif­ic cur­rent events may not be fitting.

In terms of style, please note that Paper Brigade is a lit­er­ary, not aca­d­e­m­ic, publication.

The submission period for nonfiction closes March 1, 2022.

We use Submittable to accept and review our submissions.
