etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Book lists that highlight a combination of quintessential and underappreciated titles within the broad categories of literary fiction, literary\/genre blended fiction, creative nonfiction and political nonfiction<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reviews of literary and literary\/genre blended fiction and creative nonfiction books, ideally that are similar to Joseph\u2019s novels (his book sales help fund the

\u2018Good\u2019<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s impossible to have a completely objective perception of quality, but we <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">try<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to be objective by evaluating all submissions with what I like to call the three Cs:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compelling: not boring, at least not for a target audience<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clear: easy for most people with a high school education to read smoothly and understand the gist, even if there are a few words they don\u2019t know off the of their heads<\/span><\/li>\n<li

Say Yes to the Pitch But No to the Draft<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There might be cases where we accept your pitch and draft submission, but feel the draft needs a lot of nurturing before we are comfortable publishing it. If you\u2019re open to receiving our guidance, we will reach out and explain the situation. In cases where we don\u2019t feel able to edit the draft into something usable, we will politely decline publication and pay you our $100 minimum fee to compensate for time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"who-we-are-looking-for\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who We\u2019re Looking For<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You care deeply about literature and reaching your potential as a writer. For whatever reason, literary agents haven\u2019t represented you, and traditional publications have rejected your submissions. Your creative writing doesn\u2019t fit neatly into one genre or stereotypical style.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If this doesn\u2019t sound like you, it\u2019s not necessarily a dealbreaker. We consider writers who have had a lot of establishment success, but we prioritize people who fit the above description.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Populist Political and Cultural Views<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Writers shape political and cultural discourse. When elitist authors with anti-populist political views define the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mackinac.org\/OvertonWindow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overton Window<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of opinions that can be expressed in and around literature, readers and fellow writers are deprived of enlightening content. The Rauch Review will not accept pitches from anti-populists.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the context of U.S. politics, I define \u201cpopulist\u201d as championing major policies at least 51% of Americans want, according to an average of reputable polls. Populism can also refer to popular attitudes on political and cultural issues. Because establishments usually prioritize a wealthy and powerful minority of the population, being populist and anti-establishment are often the same.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We generally only accept contributors who:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Believe American voters should have viable alternatives to the Democratic and Republican parties<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not shame third party voters as being selfish or spoilers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Acknowledge that the Democratic Party is corrupt and capable of warmongering, not only the Republican Party<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Support unionization, universal healthcare, wealth taxes, breaking up monopolies, reducing pollution, police reform, abortion rights and LGBTQ rights<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understand that establishments use censorship primarily to stifle opposition to their policies and narratives, not to protect people from lies<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Believe that, whenever possible, materials, products and goods should be sourced and made in the country in which they are distributed and sold<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t hold all of these views but still want to write for us, ping me, and we\u2019ll see if something can be worked out. I will not platform opinions that go against these views, but I\u2019m open to considering people who might occasionally oppose some of these points on other platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To learn more about this issue, read my article on how many people perceive acceptable political discourse in literature, and why I think this attitude should change.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-pitch-article-ideas\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Pitch Article Ideas<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow these steps:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Begin an email draft to hello@josephrauch.com.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Use this subject line format: Article Pitch: [name of pitch]<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Begin the email body with \u201cHi,\u201d or something like that.
