  • Additional info

    We’re looking for writers with a distinctive voice, who aren't afraid of getting personal, and who are curious about why we watch what we watch. We appreciate thoughtful analysis but also a playful tone; we want intelligent pieces that aren't too full of themselves. We don't think of ourselves as an authority, but a confidante. 🎬 We publish the following about film, TV, pop culture, and moving image media: ‍ ‍- Personal essays and non-academic essays ‍- Conversations, roundtable discussions, interviews ‍- Poetry ‍- Round-ups, lists ‍- Experimental pieces, fan fiction, spec scripts ‍- Games, questionnaires - Visual art, comics ‍- First-person, on-the-ground pieces about going to movies or working behind the scenes ‍- Film Diaries (short personal piece about something you've watched lately) - Anniversary pieces (but try to think beyond "this movie is still great") - Works on other moving image media, e.g. music videos, celebrities, commercials, filming locations, interesting areas of the film industry ❌ Things to avoid: ‍ ‍- Straight up reviews - Excessive summary - Academic or overly-formal tone - Flat-out pans (if something is bad, tell us why that's interesting!) - Pre-1970s media - Clickbait/hot takes We aim to review our newsletter submissions within 1 week. We review all of our submissions at the end of our submission period, after which you’ll receive a response from us with our publication decision. Please keep in mind that a rejection is not necessarily a reflection on the quality of your work! We get a large number of submissions and only have a limited number of spots per issue, which unfortunately means we have to pass on many great pitches. If your piece is accepted, it'll go through an editing process. As a volunteer-run journal, we pay a modest honorarium of $30 CAD per feature and $20 CAD for film diaries, sent upon publication. We acknowledge that this is not a market rate, and won't be doable for some writers. Thanks for pitching to In the Mood, we're looking forward to reading your work. And remember, we love surprises! 😈
