Pitches for Spring 2026 Labor Issue

Ends on

Orion is now accepting nonfiction story pitches for our Spring 2026 Labor Issue: Working the Land. Send us your ideas on the intersection between labor and the more-than-human world—animal rights, working creatures, and models of collectivity in nature. 

Please note that we are looking for nonfiction pitches, not full stories. Try to keep pitches to 500 words or so.

And in general, we’re not able to consider submissions for poetry, fiction, or AI-assisted works at this time.

 Please write to submissions@orionmagazine.org with any questions.

We use Submittable to accept and review our submissions.
