If you’re pitching, please please please include links to previously published stories. If you don’t have published clips, blog posts or even academic papers work. It’s just helpful for me, and other editors, to see your voice and your writing ability.

I also just want to hire more trans and nonbinary writers of color in general. You can pitch and write about anything, especially things that don’t deal directly with identity.
