Pitch us a story

About a third of what we publish comes from working designers. If you made it, tested it or watched it go wrong, we want to hear about it.

Type

A typeface you set on a real project, at the sizes people read it.

Interfaces

A pattern you shipped, and what the people using it did next.

Identity

A rebrand from the inside, including the rounds that did not make it.

Studios

How your studio prices, hires or says no. Numbers welcome.

How it works

We answer every pitch within ten days.

  1. 01

    Pitch

    Send three or four sentences: what happened, why it matters, and what you can show. No finished drafts.

  2. 02

    Edit

    If it fits, one editor works with you from outline to final draft. Most pieces take two rounds.

  3. 03

    Publish

    We pay $600 for a feature and $250 for a brief, within two weeks of publishing. You keep the rights.
