What They’re Looking For:

C Magazine is calling for pitches for their upcoming Spring 2026 issue, themed “CHORUS.” Writers and artists are invited to explore how multiple voices—whether musical, political, or emotional—come together to form meaning.

They’re interested in essays, features, and creative compositions inspired by ideas like:

Choirs, chants, and musical layering
Sonic art and performance
The aesthetics of collectivity and protest
Repetition, rhythm, and resonance in writing and sound
Experimental thought and interdisciplinary collaborations

They’re especially drawn to unique artistic perspectives that treat sound and voice as both structure and metaphor. Reviews are accepted on a rolling basis, and don’t have to fit the theme.

How to Pitch:

Send your pitch (around 150 words) to pitch@cmagazine.com by October 15, 2025.
Include:

A brief summary of your idea and how you’ll approach it
Estimated word count
Relevant hyperlinks or references
A short bio, CV, and 1–2 writing samples (especially those that match the style you’re pitching)

Be sure to start your subject line with “PITCH” and specify the type (e.g., Review, Essay, Interview, Composition).

C Magazine does not accept reprints or previously published work.
