For 2019\u2014our tenth year in the biz\u2014we&#8217;re seeking to widen our pool of contributors around the world, and in the process continuing to advance the field of coffee writing to include new voices and perspectives.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re looking for smart, thoughtful, original writing and vivid photojournalism from writers and photographers this world over. Whether you&#8217;re a pro freelancer with a hundred clips under your belt, or an emerging voice looking for that very first paid feature assignment or photo commission, we want to hear from you today as we set our editorial calendar for the year to come.<\/p>\n<p>So pitch us! We love all kinds of story ideas so please don&#8217;t be shy. But to help hone your concepts, here&#8217;s a couple things we&#8217;d love to see:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Original longform journalism<\/strong> \u2014 This can be focused on any sort of big idea, meaningful node or cultural trend, but we&#8217;re especially keen to hear pitches focused on telling stories from coffee growing countries.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cafe spotlights and city guides<\/strong> \u2014 Tell the world where to go in the places you know best. Travelers use and trust our city guides as an essential resource, and we&#8217;re looking to aggressively grow this part of our coverage platform.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Intersectionality<\/strong> \u2014 Coffee is inherently interrelated to social categorizations such as race, class, and gender. In 2019 Sprudge will continue its work exploring the overlap between coffee and society, and we want your pitches on these and other topics tied into coffee as an interdependent cultural system.<\/p>\n<p><strong>News<\/strong> \u2014 We&#8217;re expanding our daily news coverage in 2019 and looking to add to our team of regular contributors. This means writers with their finger on the pulse of the industry and a burning desire to contribute regularly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gear<\/strong> \u2014 We&#8217;re taking submissions on the latest and greatest in coffee gear and tech, and seeking contributors who might be able to walk the show floor for us at upcoming coffee trade shows.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Photojournalism<\/strong> \u2014 We regularly pair up writers and photographers to produce industry-leading coffee journalism around the world. In addition, we&#8217;re seeking contributors with a unique visual eye to help guide our ongoing series of Instagram takeovers. If you&#8217;re a journalist with a keen visual perspective please, get in touch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Artist collaborators<\/strong> \u2014 Sprudge works with (or seeks to work with) a wide network of creatives, including visual artists, designers, videoists, cartoonists, musicians, impressionists, poets, fiction writers, social critics, new media Dadaists and general coffee\u00a0provocateurs.
