Submissions

Greetings, content providers!

Modern Humorist is an on-line humor magazine featuring daily content.

We want your funniest material: essays, cartoons, reporting, games, comics, music, short videos, found humor. You should pitch your ideas using the form below.

Our pay scale is comparable to that of newspapers, magazines and other Web sites. We pay anywhere from $15 for a joke to $1000 for a large, fully-produced piece. For instance, if you have an idea for a piece with audio and video components but not the resources to produce it, we will pay you for your idea and produce it in-house. Most large features will earn you something in the $200-$500 range. We do not pay by the word, since, as we all know, brevity is the soul of wit. Yes, brevity is the soul of wit, they say.

What kind of content are we looking for? We produce a lot of topical media and entertainment satire. We use multimedia: graphics, audio, video. We are interactive. Think of us not as a television show, but rather a magazine that sometimes makes noises.

Please describe your idea, or paste your piece, in the form below or click here for a printable version of the form if your piece is in a format that needs to be mailed (e.g. cartoons). Our mailing address is: 70 Washington Street, Suite 402; Brooklyn, NY 11201.

WHEN YOU WILL HEAR FROM US: Due to the high volume of e-mail we receive, we are unfortunately unable to respond to every message. But please believe us when we say that your piece WILL be read—we have found a lot of good material this way, so we'd be idiots not to give your work a look. We will contact you within two weeks if we are interested in pursuing your idea or piece.

If your idea is so tied to current events that waiting two weeks will make you unable to sell it elsewhere, please put the word TIMELY at the top of your message (yes, we are giving you permission to use ALL CAPS in an e-mail), and we will try our best to let you know right away whether we can use it.
