This could be a specific film, era or historical figure, an aspect of filmmaking (candlelight in\u00a0Barry Lyndon<\/em>), or a broader trend in film history or present. If you need some inspiration, check out\u00a0this wildly comprehensive list<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What We Publish<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We\u2019re 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.<\/p>\n

How To Submit<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u200d<\/strong>We strongly prefer completed pieces<\/strong>, but we understand that writing on spec is not a realistic prospect for many writers. With that in mind, we still accept pitches.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc47\u00a0Please include:
\n\u200d
\n\u200d<\/strong>– Completed piece (doesn’t need to be perfectly polished!)
\n\u200dOR<\/strong>\u00a0if you\u2019re pitching:\u00a0a short paragraph on the piece (topic, relevancy, intended word count – 1,000 words max for features, 300 words max for film diaries)
\n– Why you think this is a good fit for\u00a0In the Mood
\n\u200d<\/em>– If you’re pitching:\u00a01-2 writing samples (they don\u2019t need to be published)
\n– Short bio or link to your website<\/p>\n

Send Submissions &\u00a0Queries to:<\/p>\n

inthemoodmagazine@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n

What then?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For magazine submissions, we review all of them at the end of our submission period, after which you\u2019ll receive a response from us with our publication decision.<\/p>\n

Please keep in mind that a rejection is not necessarily a reflection on the quality of your work!\u00a0<\/strong>We get a large number of submissions and only have a limited number of spots, which unfortunately means we have to pass on many great submissions.<\/p>\n

If your piece is accepted, it’ll go through an editing process. As a volunteer-run journal, we pay a modest honorarium of\u00a0$30 CAD per feature<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0$20 CAD for film diarie<\/strong>s<\/strong>, sent upon publication. We acknowledge that this is not a market rate, and won’t be doable for some writers.<\/p>\n

Thanks for pitching to\u00a0In the Mood<\/em>, we’re looking forward to reading your work. And remember, we love surprises! \ud83d\ude08<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
