GET READY TO APPLY: Pitches and submissions
The Republic
Apply on their own site: https://rpublc.com/submissions
This checklist: https://qualifyafrica.com/o/the-republic-pitches
Built only from what the listing states. Lines marked (our advice) are ours.
The application takes real work, by our reading.

1. CHECK YOURSELF AGAINST WHAT THEY ASK
[ ] at least two or three links to work you have already published
[ ] you have to create an account on their site to submit

2. WHAT TO GET READY
It asks for something outside the usual documents; read it below.
In their words: "a Word document with the proposed title, why the story is important, how you will approach it, people you will interview and places you will visit, plus at least two or three links to previously published work"

3. DATES
- No closing date is stated.
- Openings with no closing date can close once they have enough people, so sooner is safer. (our advice)
- On the date, the listing says: the general submissions route has no closing date. Individual themed calls for pitches do, and are posted separately.

A job never asks you to pay to apply. A listing that charges shows the fee above, and it is paid only to the organisation. If anyone asks for money any other way, stop, and tell us: hello@qualifyafrica.com
