Call for pitches for our upcoming Queer Ecology issue

With help from our friend Lulu Miller of Radiolab fame, we are preparing an issue on queer ecology—a celebration of the plants, landscapes, and creatures that have always existed, and a technicolor refutation to the idea that queerness is unnatural— and we're looking for stories about food. 

From May 10-25th, send us your pitches about the queer ingredients in your pantry and the queer crops in your garden. Pitches (not full stories!) should be for nonfiction (essay, memoir, or reporting), and no more than a page or two.

Note: In general, we're not able to consider submissions for poetry, fiction, or AI-assisted works at this time, even during an open pitch window.

Questions? Write to submissions@orionmagazine.org.
