Salvation South: Journalism Gold Star Program Gold Star Free Tip Jar Option

Salvation South frequently publishes journalism. Our stories typically take one of the following forms:

• Reported feature pieces about issues of concern facing the American South
• Reported profiles of figures from the American South, ranging from people who are widely known figures to people who are not famous but whose work and/or life should be celebrated
• In-depth interviews with notable Southern figures, structured with an introduction of 500 to 1,000 words, followed by an edited Q&A

There is no required word count for journalism. Our sweet spot seems to be within the range of 1,500 to 4,000 words, but if a story needs more room to unfold, that's fine by us.

Please make your pitch in 500 words or fewer via a written document that explains the story you propose, why you believe the story merits publication in Salvation South, and how you plan to approach your reporting on the story.

Please provide proof of your writing ability by including links to one or two previously published works, or, if the piece does not exist on the internet, you may attach one PDF files. This page allows you to include up to two links to samples and/or one attachment.
