About

Launched in 2020, Pioneer Works Broadcast is an online magazine with an annual print issue that encourages new thinking across art, science, music, and literature. Broadcast extends the spirit of Pioneer Works beyond our physical walls in Brooklyn through narrative journalism, essays, criticism, conversations, video, and much more.

We believe in cross-pollination, experimentation, impassioned arguments, unexpected angles, and evocative writing. We operate under the principle that de-siloing the disciplines and championing a spectrum of voices contributes to a diverse culture that benefits us all.

Submissions

Pioneer Works Broadcast welcomes submissions across the arts, sciences, music, and technology. We’re partial to strong analyses and voice-driven narratives. Please send a concise pitch—300 words max—along with two writing samples—published or unpublished, as links or attachments—to broadcast@pioneerworks.org. In the pitch, please be sure to include: why this, why now, and why us?

All contributors will be paid for their work. Please note that while we appreciate every submission, we operate as a small team and may not be able to respond to each of them.
