In addition to rolling out a weekly newsletter, The Sunday Long Read publishes five to ten pieces of original longform journalism each year. It’s an effort undertaken with the best interests of readers and writers alike. That means vibrant storytelling, reliable reporting and importantly, fair pay. If you’re a writer interested in working with us, you can check out our pitch guide. The SLR originals program would not be possible without the support of SLR publishing partner Ruth Ann Harnisch and SLR members. If you’re a reader interested in supporting this work, you can become a member today.
