Nonfiction (Comedy Articles)

Max words: 600

Max words: 1000

Max pieces: 1

Sub Genres: All / surprise us,

Payment: $ 35 per piece

We're looking for creative, thematic, and entertaining Comedy Articles preferably 600-1,000 words. We don't follow a viral or utilitarian formula when it comes to selecting both evergreen and timely comedy articles and lists—if it's funny it's funny, and we'll do our best to make it work. We're very open to creative writing, atypical formats, mainstream topics with an original approach, mundane topics made interesting, edgy material, satire and parodies, and other offbeat ideas. We're looking for smart, irreverent, and eloquent comedy writing with personality or pizzazz, and a clear throughline. But the main goal is to arouse laughter, whatever your method.

Nonfiction (Funny Lists)

Max words: 200

Max words: 600

Max pieces: 1

Sub Genres: All / surprise us,

Payment: $ 10 per piece

We're looking for Funny Lists preferably 200-600 words. Lists, quizzes, reviews, and any non-paragraph-style or short creative formats typically involving a series of beats are welcomed. Lists should have a catchy title reflecting a strong premise—for a list, the title may be what ends up selling us.

Humor

Max words: 200

Max words: 1000

Max pieces: 2

Payment: $10-35

We're looking for humor. We accept up to one Comedy Article of 600-1,000 words at a time, and one Funny List of 200-600 words at a time.
