[Tapes From The Outside]
Golden Walkman seeks and will prioritize work from underrepresented voices. If you belong to a group that is underrepresented, please make a note of this in your cover letter
We are now accepting submissions for writing in response to current events. Think political. Think mass shooting. Think natural disaster. But also think monumental moments to celebrate. Think Cubs breaking a 108-year-old curse. Think the legalization of something that should have been legal all along. Think levity.
[Tapes From The Outside] will be published sporadically throughout every month (whenever there is something to publish). There are no deadlines for these submissions: send them as events inspire you to do so. Also, due to the nature of these types of submissions, there is a pretty quick turnaround - expect to hear within the week of your submission and to be published within a couple of weeks after hearing from us. Below are the guidelines:
