Call for pitches from Indigenous writers!!

The Native Students Union and the Martlet are planning a collaboration for early 2021, with funding from the City of Victoria. In order to have lots of time to develop stories, we are starting the pitch process now! Even if you only have a rough idea of a story, send it to us and we will help you develop it further. Try to include a topic, the angle at which you would like to approach the story, and an idea of who you would interview (again, we can help develop this further). There will be financial compensation for contributing writers! 

All pitches and pitch ideas can be sent to communications@uvicnsu.ca and more information about the pitching process can be found through the link in our bio!
