What They’re Looking For

Aftermath — an independent, worker-owned publication — is looking for stories that go beyond typical gaming coverage. They want:

• Investigative features about the gaming industry and its workers
• Reported stories that highlight underrepresented communities, developers, and fans
• Cultural essays that explore how gaming connects with politics, society, or tech
• Experimental storytelling that uses creative formats beyond text

They don’t want standard reviews, listicles, or service posts—unless your take offers rare expertise or an unconventional angle.
