Read The Room is a volunteer-led arts and culture magazine that focuses on women, LGBTQIA+, and marginalised voices worldwide. We’re expanding our team and are in search of some new contributors!
At RTR, every story is important. We get excited hearing from those whose voices are often overlooked. We love detail (you just have to look at our extensive One Night feature as an example). If you’re passionate about representation within arts and culture, enjoy writing, and would like a platform to amplify your voice, reach out to us! We’re excited to read pitches from everyone, but we’re especially interested in hearing from voices that are part of the BIPOC, queer, and/or disabled communities.
We welcome stories from all cultures and languages - you don’t need to be based in or from an English-speaking country to submit (see our recent piece in both French and English about French show Ici tout commence)! However, we do ask that any pieces in a language other than English are also submitted with an English version.
PITCH US AN IDEA / SUBMISSIONS
We want to ensure RTR is open to all and accessible. You’re welcome to pitch your idea for an article/interview/review even if you haven’t had previous writing experience. All we ask is to see an example of your writing style, perhaps a thread on social media that you’re particularly proud of. You are also welcome to submit completed work for consideration.
Please note that submissions are speculative. We will not accept works previously published elsewhere.
To submit a pitch, please use our Google form: https://forms.gle/VuRdqGSQTPSVCSJP7
Have a question about submitting? Feel free to reach out to us via email at team@readtheroommagazine.com or via social media on Twitter/X or Instagram.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Alfie, Helena, Candice, and the RTR team
