Welcome to the New Yorkville submission page! We’re so excited that you're interested in writing or sharing your videos with us and ask that you follow the guidelines below so that we can get your work published —

Who Can Submit to New Yorkville:

  • New Yorkville is open to any comedian who identifies as a person of color. Please know that this is not to exclude non-people of color, but instead serves to emphasize the voices of comedians of color.
  • We currently are not publishing articles that are a part of the Medium Partner program but are open to allowing more flexibility in the future.

What to Submit:

  • If you are submitting a writing piece, we prefer that they are 300–1000 characters and will notify you if we feel that your piece will be accepted if it could be condensed. Remember, shorter blogs usually have a higher click through rate.
  • If you are submitting a video first write a 25+ word summary of your video and a short biography about yourself . Lastly, if you want your video on the Medium and Instagram page, attach your video’s Youtube or Vimeo link. If you only want it on the Instagram, you can send your video directly to our email. So it goes, short summary of your video, a little bit about yourself, and then your video.
  • We are open to publishing any piece that falls under the humor category including satire pieces, personal essays, cartoons, stand-up performances, impressions, improvisation performances, music, and whatever you else you feel fits the humor vibe we’re going for.
  • You can only submit one completed piece (videos included) a week. By complete, we mean no typos and a cool title.

Where Do I Send my Publication:

If you’re interested in submitting your comedy to New Yorkville, please email newyorkvillecomedy@gmail.com with a private link to your unpublished Medium draft.

We will take 1–2 weeks to respond with the status of your piece.

What Happens If My Piece is Not Accepted:

Fear not! The New Yorkville Team will provide feedback on improvements you can make to get your work published on the site. After a week, feel free to send us your updated piece.

We can’t wait for you to join the Ville’,
NYV Team
