Pitch Us

Thanks for stopping by, and for your interest in pitching Narratively Academy.

Our 2025 Memoir Prize has just ended. To all those who submitted, thank you! We can’t wait to read your work. You can expect to hear back from us on or around February 26, 2026 via Submittable and/or email (but please give us a minute if you don’t hear back right away — this is a ballpark). And to everyone else, over at Narratively.com we’re currently looking for full submissions for The Personals and pitches for epic longform true crime stories.

Lastly, we’ve teamed up with ScottsMiracle-Gro to produce a new sponsored series called Stories from the Ground Up—How Green Spaces Shape Our Lives, to which you can pitch reported pieces or submit memoir essays.

If you have an idea for a class you’d like to teach, please email us at academy at narratively dot com.

Thank you for your interest in sharing your ideas and stories with our community. We look forward to hearing from you. ♥️
