Back Market's Tech Journal is an editorial platform dedicated to exploring technology through the lens of sustainability and longevity. Under the direction of Thomas Hobbs, the Journal seeks writing that interrogates the culture of disposability in consumer electronics and champions a slower, more thoughtful relationship with our devices. This is not a venue for product reviews or trend pieces, but for essays that consider the environmental and social implications of how we make, use, and discard technology. The Journal operates on a rolling basis and accepts pitches from writers at any stage of their career. There is no submission fee. Accepted pieces are paid up to £500, with the final amount determined by the depth of reporting and research involved. The editorial team has expressed a particular interest in writers who have traditionally been underrepresented in tech culture writing, suggesting a commitment to broadening the conversation beyond the usual voices. What distinguishes this opportunity is its alignment with Back Market's broader mission to promote refurbished electronics and reduce e-waste. The Journal provides a space for rigorous, accessible essays that can shift public perception about what technology can be and how long it should last. Writers are encouraged to bring fresh perspectives, personal experience, and critical analysis to the subject, whether through reported features, cultural criticism, or narrative essays.
