The docket

The nine things that decide whether a pitch is worth sending. Every answer below is either taken from the publication’s own guideline or computed by BRYME from the 304-publication desk. Where the publication does not say, the docket says so instead of filling the gap in.

Payment: Not statedNot publicly stated on the current official page. The publication publishes no figure BRYME could record. That is not the same as unpaid — but you cannot price the work from this page.
Length: Not statedNot publicly stated on the current official page. The guideline states no length BRYME could record.
Who can submit: Not statedThe official submissions page does not list countries. Do not treat that silence as a closed list or as a guaranteed worldwide call.
Reading period: Reopens 1 October 2026
Response time: Not statedNo response time recorded. A follow-up after two to three weeks is reasonable; silence past that is a soft no, not a rejection.
Simultaneous submissions: You may submit elsewhere at the same timeWe do accept simultaneous submissions; please withdraw individual pieces if they are accepted elsewhere. — https://adimagazine.com/submissions/ (read 2026-09-30)
AI policy: AI-assisted work is prohibitedThe guideline forbids AI-generated or AI-assisted writing.
Rights: StatedAdi acquires first exclusive, world English-language publication rights. Copyright remains with the author.
Experience: Not statedThe guideline sets no experience requirement. BRYME records that as silence, not as a welcome — a first-time writer is not excluded, but nor are they invited.

What this record does not tell you

This publication leaves 5 of the nine questions unanswered. BRYME publishes that gap instead of filling it — a generated answer would look complete and cost you a pitch.

Payment — pitch only if you are comfortable negotiating the fee itself, or ask before you write.
Length — propose a length in your pitch and let the editor correct it.
Who can submit — the guideline leaves this open, so ask before you spend an evening on the pitch rather than assuming a yes.
Response time — expect to wait blind, and keep other pitches live.
Experience — look at what kind of writer this publication normally publishes before you pitch; its guideline does not say.

Record last human-checked 2026-09-06. Sources listed at the foot of this page. This record holds no figure BRYME could compare, so no ranking appears above it. Where a rate is quoted per word, it is never ranked against a flat fee.

What this publication wants

This is BRYME's summary of the publication's focus — not a copy of their website. Type of writing: Essays. Official guideline: Adi Magazine guidelines.

Topics, themes and styles they look for

Essays, when the window reopens on 1 October 2026. Adi publishes nonfiction (essays, interviews, reportage) as part of a literary magazine of global politics.
Interviews and translations are also listed as reopening 1 October 2026.
Fiction is listed separately: closed, reopening 8–30 November 2026 on Submittable, with official rates $500 (up to 5,000 words) and $200 (flash under 1,000 words). That is not this card.

Subjects they avoid

Do not submit essays during the June–September 2026 staff break. The official page says they will not be able to reply.
AI-generated submissions or pitches.
Work previously published in English.
More than one Adi submission at a time.

Key requirements

How to write for them

Official requirement: always follow the publication's own guideline exactly.

BRYME's practical advice: write for the publication's audience, use a clear structure, keep paragraphs short, lead with a specific angle, and confirm the word count before submitting. These are practical suggestions — they are not the publication's official rules.

How to pitch

Where a pitch is required, this is the general pattern BRYME recommends — always adapt it to the publication's guideline.

Research the publication and read several recent pieces.
Choose a specific idea that fits their beat and audience.
Write a concise subject line naming your idea.
Introduce yourself in one or two lines (who you are, where you publish).
Explain the proposed piece in a short paragraph — angle, structure, length.
Say why it fits this publication.
Include 2–3 relevant clips or links.
Close professionally and thank them for their time.
Send through the official channel only.

What the guideline asks you to prepare

Do not email an essay pitch before 1 October 2026.
On or after that date, use the official submissions page. The current page does not yet give the reopened essay pitch format.

Safety note. Never pay to submit your work. A legitimate publication does not ask writers to pay a fee or provide identity documents to be considered. If you are asked to, do not proceed.

What happens after submission

Expected response: Not publicly stated

If the publication does not state a response time, BRYME records that it is unknown. A follow-up is generally reasonable after a couple of weeks; if there is still no response, treat that as a likely non-acceptance rather than a rejection. Acceptance is normally communicated by the publication. If they accept, they will tell you exactly how to submit the final piece and, for most, how and when payment is made.
