Mothership is a gender and identity-focused gaming publication. They’re accepting freelance pitches:
“We’re interested in publishing investigative reporting about gender and/or sexuality discrimination at major game studios, as well as coverage of related lawsuits. We commission stories about game studios run by people who aren’t cisgender men and the challenges these studios may face, as well as stories about developers who’ve conquered those odds. We also aim to publish stories about gender-diverse gaming subcultures — actual play fandoms, modding communities, speedrunners, and so on — as well as the communities that aren’t particularly gender-diverse, and what it’s like to exist in those spaces.”
“We publish games criticism through a gender lens, a queer lens, and/or a body-focused lens. At Mothership, we’re interested in analyses of games that push back on gender stereotypes and body norms, including colorism, racism, sizeism, and so on. We’re also open to video game reviews that have this angle in mind, both for major games and games our readers might not have yet heard about, but should hear about.”
Their articles start at a baseline rate of $250/story. If interested, send your pitches to team@mothership.blog. For more details, refer to their post and this page.
