Guidelines and Tips
What do we look for? We accept pieces that 1) Illuminate the lived experiences of people in STEM, especially those who have been historically marginalized 2) Push the boundaries of the conversation by offering a new question, angle, or perspective.
Final articles should be approximately 700-1,000 words in length. We encourage a conversational, non-technical tone, and recommend against long, dense paragraphs.
Who can write for us? We aim to amplify historically marginalized voices in STEM. Our authors are gender minorities, people of color, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, people with disabilities, first-generation students, New Americans, and more. We welcome first-time writers.
Are authors paid? We offer authors a $125 honorarium for each published piece.
