I’m looking for pitches for people to take over Culture Study for the week. Your responsibilities would be: A media-related prompt for the Tuesday Thread A Q&A with a subject of your choice for the mid-week post A broader prompt for the Friday Thread
Does the interview subject for the Q&A need to be a public figure, or someone with an academic/media background? I'd love to discuss fandom, JK Rowling and transphobia with a trans HP fan I know who has personally grappled with those issues (if they're willing) but they're not someone with a public platform--just someone whose perspective is really interesting to me.
"I’m particularly interested in pitches from people whose perspective and identity are not identical to my own (aka, that of a straight, white, cis-gendered woman who grew up middle-class and went to college)." I am too. Should I — age 76 but also "strait, white, cis-gendered, et al — prepare a pitch?
Very excited about this! I'm wondering if there's a specific format you'd like the pitch in? Or just sharing our ideas as it relates to the responsibilities listed? Thank you!
I'm not sure I am ready to submit anything now, but I hope you do this again. I think it's a great idea.

Love this idea, and love that you're looking for pitches from different perspectives. Can't wait to read these!
Hi there! Would you accept pitches for just the essay portion (for a lower rate)? Thanks!
