i submitted my pitch, now what?
please allow up to 7 days for the brainwash team to review and respond to all pitches. due to the volume of pitches, we will only be responding to accepted pitches.*
*please note that all brainwash contributors are unpaid. it’s truly a labor of love and we don’t sell ads so articles do not generate any revenue. working with writers to sharpen their pens and establish a resume of work online is why this space exists so please take advantage. we are in the process of seeking funding in hopes that we can support our contributors monetarily but in the meantime send your work our way!
my pitch has been accepted, ok so what do you need from me now?
you’ll work with our editorial team to craft the best possible article. we love google hangouts. a lot.
i never heard back from you guys about my pitch?
