What They’re Looking For:

Griffith Review is accepting nonfiction and fiction submissions for their upcoming issue titled “On the Money.” If you’ve got powerful insights, bold narratives, or researched essays on how money influences human life—from politics to personal relationships—they want to hear from you.

Writers are invited to explore the emotional, societal, and systemic role of money:

• Is money driving division or opportunity?
• Can we bridge the wealth gap?
• How does it impact trust in democracy?
• Does anyone really get crypto?

Max word count is 4,000—but shorter works are welcome. No pitches, full submissions only. International writers can apply. Poetry will be accepted in a separate call opening September.

This is a high-paying nonfiction writing opportunity for writers worldwide, especially those tackling deep, thematic work.

How To Get This Client:

✔ Read past Griffith Review issues to understand their editorial voice.
✔ Submit a polished, deeply thoughtful piece that tackles the theme of money from an unexpected angle.
✔ Avoid generic narratives—push boundaries with voice, structure, or perspective.
✔ Don’t pitch—submit the full piece via Submittable.
