Do you have an open case with CPS? (We only ask because we want to make sure we don’t make your piece public at a time when lawyers or the system can use it against you in your case.)*

If you selected “Other”, please explain here:

Are you currently located New Jersey or have had a CPS case in New Jersey?*

What happens next...
Our B.L.U. team will reach out to let you know either:

1. Yes! We love that idea and would like to pursue it, at which point you would create your piece, setting your own deadlines.

2. Maybe. We love that idea…but maybe another person has offered the same pitch recently, so we want to know more about what will make yours unique. Or, perhaps we have concerns we want to address together before you start.

3. Not yet. It's a great idea, but we either have just published something similar, we need to platform other voices right now, or for another reason, we have to hold back on this piece at the moment.

4. No. While it may be an important topic, it isn't quite right for our Storytelling Hub or doesn't follow our principles.

Either way, we’ll be in touch! Thank you so much for submitting your pitch!
