C Magazine welcomes pitches for reviews, features, and essays that offer original critical perspectives on contemporary art. Writers should familiarize themselves with the magazine's tone and scope before submitting. Pitches should be concise, articulate the proposed argument, and demonstrate awareness of current debates. While the magazine publishes reviews of exhibitions, it prioritizes pieces that transcend mere description to engage with broader cultural and theoretical contexts. Payment is competitive for the sector, and editorial feedback is typically constructive.
