Young writers, send us pitches for our Next Gen special issue - The Verge

A new special issue called Next Gen is coming in August, and we’re looking for young writers with thoughts about technology.

Hey — remember last year when we published a bunch of essays and called it Next Gen? Well, we’re doing it again.

In early August, The Verge will be running another special issue focused on young people and technology — and if you’re a young or unpublished writer, then we want you to be a part of it.

In particular, we want to hear about the piece of tech that’s meant the most to you: it could be an online community, a little-known tool, or a particular piece of media that’s been a positive presence in your life. To be clear, we’re looking for stuff you like, but the tech itself is just a starting point. We want to hear what it means to you and why. Be creative; surprise us!

To give you an idea of what we’re looking for, here are the four Next Gen Favorites we published the last time around:

To be clear, this is an opportunity specifically for young people, ideally college students or people in their early careers. We don’t want pitches from seasoned freelancers for this part of the series. The whole point is to give the younger folks a shot.
