Contribute to the NAAFA Community Voices Blog

The NAAFA Community Voices Blog welcomes pitches from members of the fat community and our allies, especially those who are fat disabled people, fat LGBTQIA+ people, fat People of Color, or superfat/infinifat people. We prioritize pieces that take an intersectional approach to the topics of fat liberation and fat rights.

Small stipends ($125) are available for accepted pieces. NAAFA is a predominantly volunteer organization, and we appreciate submissions from those who can donate their time, but we understand that not all writers can work without compensation. We are a 501c3 charitable organization, and the donation of your professional services is tax-deductible as allowable by law. 

Our team will review pitches on a rolling basis and respond in 7-10 business days.
