Call for Submissions: The Baffler

Do you have the negative capability to contribute to The Baffler? Send your pitch through this page. Muckraking, stem-winding, take-downing, doomsaying, and howling with indescribable pain are all to be expected and duly considered—so long as they don’t lack humor. 

We’re not interested in covering celebrities; personal journeys of self discovery; attempts to mark generational touchstones; think-pieces that set out to vindicate some slick new Concept or coinage; conspiracy theories; anything occurring solely on Twitter; those dreams you tried to turn into a story while you were stoned and depressed; and “creative nonfiction.” No, thanks.

Poetry with grace and fiction with personality are most welcome; anything that sounds like an academic “workshop” or writers’ “colony” will be printed out and lit on fire.

All contributions to The Baffler are paid (a little).

Submit your work here.
