We invite, solicit, and desire a variety of submissions: field notes, ethnographic essays, methodological reflections, fieldwork dilemmas, visual essays, and even ethnographic fiction, poetry, comics and illustrations. 

A tangential field note that you do not know what to do with but are still attached to? Send it to us!

A bunch of photographs that tell us a story? Thought you’d never ask.

An entry from your journal from the day you had the most fun during fieldwork? Absolutely, yes!

A painful encounter in the field that you want to recount as catharsis? Consider this the right home for it. 

Some fieldwork non-fiction with which you have been considering flexing your essay writing skills? We would love it.

Please pitch your idea to us at ethnomargin@gmail.com. We promise to get back to you within a week.

A few things to keep in mind:

• For longform ethnographic essays, we request authors stay under 3000 words, excluding references and footnotes.
• For methodological reflections, we request authors stay under 2500 words, excluding references and footnotes.
• For photo essays, we ask for no more than 12 photos and a maximum of 1000 words of accompanying texts.
• While our podcast is mostly “invitation only”, if you have written an ethnographic book that you would like to talk about, do reach out!
• Editing is hard work and we give it a lot of our time, so we hope you respect that by NOT sending us work that is already under review or consideration elsewhere.
• We are currently unable to pay our contributors. Hopefully, in the near future, we will be able to.

_{P.S.: We encourage bilingual submissions.}

_{P.P.S.: We are open to pitches from ethnographers in any discipline, even though this website is being managed by two sociologists.}
