The Cut (of the New Yorker) publishes stories that address our readers’ lives head-on, with generous wit, honesty, and power. We are in a dynamic conversation with women about the issues that matter to them most—politics, feminism, work, money, relationships, mental health, fashion, and issues relating to equality—and we’re always looking for ideas that add to that conversation. Our stories go through a collaborative and thorough editorial process, and writers are paid at competitive rates.
What we’re looking for: Smart, generous, funny writing that engages with The Cut’s readers and finds a natural home on our website under one of our four verticals: POWER, SELF, STYLE, and CULTURE. We’re always open to essay, column, and feature pitches.
