Pitches wanted (games and developers) | $200 per article
Added 2025-11-13 05:10:27 +0000 UTCCOMPANY/PUBLICATION: INDIEPOCALYPSE
Andrew Baillie, Editor in Chief of Indepocalypse, is looking for pitches:
Want to write about games and developers in Indiepocalypse? (and get paid $200 for it?) You're in luck, I'm currently accepting pitches! Send it via email indiepocalypse@gmail.com with links to your work.
The goal is to better highlight the individual creators that have been featured in Indiepocalypse and add to a growing collection of writing about the games and creators in Indiepocalypse. The hope is that Indiepocalypse becomes not just a place you buy these games but a place you learn about them and their creators, further contributing to a culture of alternative game development. It's also not something I'm capable of doing purely on my own! (I've written other game highlighting features in the past, but events especially have taken that time)
The main details:
Pay: $200
Length: 2 pages or 1k words
Subject: Generally open to most anything so long as it's about Indiepocalypse contributors
The publishing schedule will be largely based on the patreon, with an ideal of 2-3 a moth if the lofty $2,500/month "break even" goal is reached, but likely I will try to publish 1 every other month at the minimum. The features will be in issues of Indiepocalypse as well as on my site. You are also free to post it anywhere else you want, even for pay elsewhere! (assuming I wouldn't need to then unpublish it from my site)
