website submissions

Our website submissions are always open as we accept pitches on a rolling basis. But we do have a monthly theme for the site that you can choose to follow if you'd like to be featured in the end of the month's issue roundup. If you'd like to write for us but your not under the issue's theme, you are still welcome to submit! It will be published on the website but it just won't be included in the end of the month's roundup. Head over to our Instagram to find out what the current month's theme is!

If you identify as an Asian woman, non-binary person, or another gender minority, this is the space for your work and experiences! We accept pitches and submissions for pieces for the following sections:

culture (food, beauty, fashion, music, books, TV & Film)
life (first person (personal essays) , self-portraits, spirituality, education, career, health, relationships, entrepreneurship)
society (politics, activism, news)
create (poetry, art, fiction, photography)

Don’t worry if you’re not sure if you’re piece fits under a column! We will work with you to find a place on our website.

The pitch form includes more information on our writing guidelines and policies! If you submit a pitch for a written piece, an editor will be in touch with you as soon as possible. If you do not hear from us, please do not resubmit the form: send an email to our editorial team at editorial@overachievermagazine.com with the subject as “Website Submission Inquiry: Pitch Form Follow-up.”

Overachiever Magazine was started by Rehana Paul in October of 2018 to give a platform to all Asian women, non-binary people, and other gender minorities.

Our name is poking fun at the stereotype that all Asians are overachievers, especially Asian women, non-binary people, and other gender minorities. It’s also in recognition of all of us who have had no choice but to be overachievers: managing societal expectations, family obligations, and educational opportunities, all while fighting the patriarchy.

We have grown since then, putting out bimonthly issues (we are contributor powered: apply to write for our next one!), and weekly reviews of culture, and news that is important to us.

You can find announcements, more news, and get to know our staff on social media: give us a follow, and learn how you can get involved today!

We do not claim to speak for all Asian women, non-binary people, and other gender minorities. We are just here to give them a place to speak for themselves.

We hope you’ll join us.
