girlblog! is looking for submissions from prospective contributors and guest writers on different aspects of alternative culture.

You can also submit original poetry and personal essays.

Submissions should be on the following topics:

  • film & tv (reviews or editorials)

  • music (reviews or editorials)

  • literature (reviews, editorials, or original poetry)

  • lifestyle (personal essays or political pieces)

and should provide an intersectional perspective.

Reviews should be between 500-1500 words long — whatever works for you.

Any personal essays or editorials should be within 2500 words.

No content written using AI will be accepted.

If you want to know more or have an idea, story, or poem in mind that you think would work well on girlblog!, drop me an email.
