From their PR:
If you've been sitting on a story idea, this is your sign.
Not sure if your idea is ready—or if YOU are ready? Here's what happens if your pitch gets selected:
- Writers: First, our team will match you with a dedicated Editor and Layout Designer. The story development process will kick off with our signature story workshop, where you'll get to share more about the heart of your story and develop it further. Then, you'll work hand-in-hand with your Editor for 4-6 months to get it into its final form. Mid-way through the process, you'll meet your Story Artist, who will co-create an original piece of art made just for your story. It's truly a special and beloved process that is unique to Slant’d.
We're looking for personal essays, short stories, poetry, art, and photography from AAPI creatives of all backgrounds. We believe that everyone is creative—no MFA, no agent, no previous bylines required here. All you need is a story worth telling and the willingness to pitch it.
- Artists: In addition to personal essays and poems, we also feature art pieces (think: illustration, photo essays). If you pitch a visual story and are accepted, you'll be matched with a dedicated Layout Designer who will help you sharpen your vision and make sure you feel amazing about the final piece before it goes to print.
