What We Publish
 

Here are the topics we cover and some of the mediums we publish. However you interpret them is up to you. Make sure to check out existing content to get an idea of what we've published in the past and if your work might be a fit for us!

Contributors

​​

We know your art and words are worth a lot, and we want to pay you when we can. We have a limited monthly budget for each category, with payments varying based on word counts and whether it appears both online and in print or online only. Eventually, we aim to be able to pay artists more for each article. (Want to help us reach our goal of paying our people more? Donate here!)

​

Interested in writing for us on assignment or on a consistent basis? Reach out at encore.editorial@gmail.com with your resume, what areas you're interested in covering, and relevant writing samples. Please note that we only publish writers local to North Carolina with preference toward those local to Cape Fear and surrounding areas.​

When & Where We Publish

​​

Back in the day, encore was published weekly. Now, we print quarterly, with a goal to move to monthly in the future. We publish online content round. We like to let a print issue have its moment in the spotlight before we add its online content to the website. When the one issue is printed, we'll post the previous issue's content online, and so on. We'll consider your work for both print and online unless you indicate otherwise.
