The Believer is a US magazine publishing literature, arts, and culture. Each issue features ‘journalism and essays… book reviews… and interviews that are intimate, frank, and also very long.’ Submissions are welcome and there are very detailed guidelines on the website. Spend time reading them carefully.
Features for the magazine, 4,000 to 8,000 words, should be pitched. Successful pitches ‘will demonstrate that you’ve identified the contours of your story and thought deeply about it, and that you’ve done some early legwork of reporting or research’. Include links to past work and don’t worry about a thin CV. Simultaneous submissions are fine.
