Magic Canoe is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that champions practical, ambitious solutions to the current polycrisis by reporting on solutions-forward, bioregional storytelling across the Pacific Northwest.
Now is a point of inflection.
The rapidly changing climate, erratic economy, and multiple failing systems demands we rethink—and retool—the ways we engage with each other and our home.
We need new ideas, new approaches for how to thrive as individuals and communities.
We’re currently seeking exceptionally written and multimedia story ideas centering the following:
- Environmental Conservation & Sustainability
- Indigenous Stewardship & Leadership
- Urban & Regional Development
- Climate Change Adaptation & Mitigation
- Local Agriculture & Food Security
- Local Business Solutions for Regenerative Economies
- Community Leadership
- Art, Culture, & Solutions
- Biodiversity & Rewilding
We know that many of the best solutions to the polycrisis are locally-driven, drawing on deep wells of ingenuity, natural abundance, and local knowledge.
We also know that—throughout history—transformative ideas often come from communities with the least amount of money or mainstream power. Magic Canoe is here to amplify these stories, these voices, these leaders. We’re looking for people who want to share these solutions—and stories—as widely as possible.
We welcome pitches for regular and one-off contributions for interviews, feature articles, photo essays, video features, book reviews, and other multimedia offerings.
Our rates are competitive, and your work will be shared with a growing audience in the Western US and Canada.
To pitch stories, contact nick (at) magiccanoe (dot) org. Please include a short description of your article concept, a brief bio, and a link to relevant clips, portfolio, or website.
