We are always looking for great writing to feature in Flung. Before contacting us, please take a few minutes to make sure that you are comfortable with our tone, which skews literary. A critical approach is also essential. We are not looking for travel writing per se, but for incredible writing that happens to contain an element of travel and/or a strong sense of place.
We do not ban press trips, but we do ask that you inform us if you’ll be taking advantage of one to complete your piece for us. We do require that if you go on a press trip, you do not guarantee positive coverage to those sponsoring it.
Please direct pitches and submissions as follows:

- Reviews of hotels, restaurants, bars, flights, and books: NOTE: AS OF SUMMER 2020, ALL REVIEWS ARE ON HOLD. PLEASE DO NOT SEND PITCHES FOR THEM UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. Send a pitch to sarah@flungmagazine.com before visiting the establishment you’d like to review. Please note that we are currently assigning very few hotel and flight reviews. On the other hand, we are particularly interested in book reviews and reviews of restaurants in our “Bar Diner” series.
- Essays and fiction: We are currently prioritizing longform, literary-minded essays. (We pay $100 for accepted essays.) Please send your completed piece as a Word attachment or inline text to submit@flungmagazine.com.
- Longform and shortform journalism: Send a pitch to sarah@flungmagazine.com. Note that we are currently commissioning very little of what is conventionally known as travel journalism. Creative and/or thought-provoking approaches are essential to any work we will consider publishing.
