ℹ️ Key Information
You will need to be a registered member of the VAGUE community to be able to complete your application. This will allow you to join our Discord server, connect with our global team and submit stories. Editorial applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
💰 Payment & Rates
We are a small community-led organization so unfortunately we aren't able to offer competitive rates but want to ensure you are at least somewhat compensated within our means. As such, editorial commissions are priced from £5 - £30 depending on format (we publish written, visual and / or audio essays), word count and estimated impact.
Who We are
VAGUE is where community, culture and commerce collide. This isn’t just a creative agency. Nor is it just a content platform. What we're building is cultural infrastructure.
We serve as a safe space for cultural commentators and creators seeking a testing ground for innovative storytelling, and creative ally for culturally-conscious brands and communities looking for relevance, resonance and results. Sound like a challenge you're up for?
