Call for Pitches: LatinXcellence

Interested in writing for Narratively? We're looking for stories about Latin American people who are doing things their own way — and changing the world while they’re at it.

According to a report released late last year, Latinos, despite making up almost one-fifth of the U.S. population, continue to be underrepresented in the media. We would like to help change that by putting the spotlight on Latino/a/x stories that are extraordinary and deserve to be heard.

We’re looking for stories about LatinXcellence, people breaking ground across the board. A Latina mountain climber who broke an impossible climbing record; a grassroots organizer who saved his village from extinction; a Latinx advocate working tirelessly to improve conditions for the trans community in a conservative state. We want to hear your stories about people shaking things up — stories that have stopped you in your tracks and inspired you.
