The Other Almanac has opened a fresh call for submissions—ideal for writers in Kenya looking for high-paying international writing jobs in ecology writing, culture writing, and urban life storytelling. They’re accepting essays, column concepts, and visual work. They love creative nonfiction with personality and edge, but they’re not looking for fiction or poetry right now.

Writers can submit fully drafted essays or pitch an idea first. The editors encourage contributors to review previous issues so they understand the voice, tone, and editorial direction. Expect experimental, poetic, metaphor-rich, personal, or analytic approaches—not dry research papers.

Accepted contributors receive $150 for written work and $50 for visual work, making this one of the more competitive online writing jobs for creatives exploring environment, culture, AI, cities, migration, food, plants, climate, architecture, and the lived experience of New York City.

What They’re Looking For:
They want essays (500–1,400 words) and monthly or seasonal column ideas (under 250 words per entry). Think ecology, plants, cities, animals, migration, art, architecture, fermenting, cooking, design, technology, God/s, climate, incarceration, calendars, planets, and culture. Columns can be tips, guides, personal notes, or creative observations grounded in seasonal or monthly rhythms.
