Word count: We aren’t strict on word count, say what you need to say in the amount of words you need to say it. We do, of course, reserve the right to edit.

Rights: First nonexclusive electronic rights; reprint rights in very cool cases

Byline: Yes + bio with link to your website/social

Payment: We are a startup, and that means we operate with startup funds. Still, we believe in creative work and so pay what we can for work from freelance writers (as apposed to submissions from publicists, which we do not pay for but will consider for publication). If you like what we stand for and you’d like to help us pay more writers, consider leaving us a donation to help keep Wildtimes running.

Audience: Free, open-minded thinkers; visionaries & revolutionaries; culture weavers; storytellers; intellectually curious; wholehearted

Deadline: None. Ongoing submissions.

Format: Include your article within the body of the email, not as an attachment. Do not attach pictures; we will ask for any desired pictures if your article is accepted. It’s ok to send article pitches as well as completed articles. If sending a pitch, tell us why you are the person to write it and link to any writing clips you might have.

Acceptance/Rejection: We are sadly too busy to respond to every query. If an editor has not contacted you within two weeks of your submission, then we have decided not to use your article at this time. Thank you for submitting it, and we encourage you to pitch again in the future.
