New African Woman offers intelligent, in-depth and inspirational features, news and visuals on a diverse range of issues that truly speak to and resonate with the modern Black woman while celebrating their diverse accomplishments and aspirations in all spheres, with expert analysis and insights.
Team welcomes both female and male contributors. It is recommended that you send an enquiry or proposal first rather than completed submission. You must make sure your article/pitch is issue-focused. Think what is the story and how does it interest the NAW readership?
Include in your initial enquiry some samples of your written work, preferably previously published work. If your pitch is accepted, you will be invited to submit a proofed final article. It should be well sourced, attributed and balanced with rich quotes from at least 2-3 different sources. All submissions should not be over 1200 words. Hence, try to be as concise, pithy and to the point within 800-1200 words.
Be pithy and to the point. Avoid using long and winding sentences or words where a short one will do. Long paragraphs or sentences, can often confuse the reader or put them off. Do not aim at telling readers what you think, be informative instead. Do not be too didactic, too stuffy or too dramatic either.
The team’s current rates are $100 per 1,000 published words. Unless otherwise agreed, the fee is based on printed, not submitted, words. In addition, it will pay between $20-$30 for any photos accompanying an article if used. Payment for any published submission is made within 30-90 days after publication date.
