here at sinkhole, we’re explorers, not explainers – our goal is to chart the world's complexities, to resist the echo chamber, and to engage in the difficult work of empathy.
send us your work.
capital
things we’re interested in: socioeconomics, politics & government, environment, foreign policy, social justice, business, law & order, science & technology, history, education, and/or the commingling/collapse of any of these categories into each other.
forms we like: literary journalism, analysis/synthesis, essays, interviews, graphic and/or photo essays, video, podcasts, or just surprise us.
word limits: we don’t care how long it is – if it’s good, it’s good.
PS - we'd love to see some column pitches.
culture
things we're interested in: oh, culture classics like booksmoviesmusicinternet, but we really love stuff that's off the beaten path, too: reviews of apps (smartphone and restaurant), arguments against weekends, what drink to pair with which brand of cigarette, Top Chef Season 4 retrospectives, and more. specificity reigns. we also love hot takes on lukewarm subjects, and vice versa.
forms we like: essays & interviews, mostly, but hell, send us your videos & your songs & your photos - we'll throw em' up on social media if we like em'. if your meme or GIF game is strong, we want readers to know.
word limits: just please be reasonable.
PS - like those guys in capital, we're open to pitches.
creative
things we're interested in: form can be experimental or traditional, as long as the product is well-executed. we encourage strong voices, playfulness, and emotional resonance.
forms we like: fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, comics, hybrid works, video essays.
word limits: 1500 words or less.
PS - no pitches, please.
