Lipsticks & Martinis - Contributor Interest Form
The Audacity of Being a Woman
ISSUE 06 · AN INVITATION TO THE EDITORIAL TABLE
A Little Note From Our Editorial Desk
First things first, thank you. Truly.
The response to our LinkedIn contributor call has been so overwhelmingly lovely, and we've spent the past few hours feeling incredibly grateful for every comment, message, and person who has shown interest in being part of Lipsticks & Martinis.
When we started Lipsticks & Martinis, we simply wanted to create a home for interesting voices, unconventional perspectives, and stories worth telling. Seeing so many of you wanting to be part of that feels incredibly special.
So, whether you're a seasoned writer, someone with a lifetime of stories, or simply a person with a few thoughts that refuse to stay in your Notes app, we're so happy you're here.
This little form is just our way of getting to know you. Nothing intimidating, promise! Thank you for being here, and for considering sharing your words with us.
With love,
Deepanshi Srivastava
Founder & Editor-in-Chief
Lipsticks & Martinis
Estimated completion time: 2–4 minutes.
What Does Being an L&M Contributor Look Like?
We believe good stories deserve more than just a place on a page. They deserve to be seen, shared, and celebrated. Here's what you can look forward to:
1. Published byline and contributor credit: Your name and work featured in our digital magazine.
2. Contributor spotlight: Recognition across our magazine and website.
3. Dedicated promotional assets: Custom graphics and shareable creatives featuring your work.
4. Editorial guidance: Personalized topic suggestions, writing support, editing, and proofreading.
5. Publication promotion: Your work celebrated across our magazine, website, social media, and our weekly newsletter, Martini Mondays.
6. Portfolio-ready assets: Published work and promotional materials you can showcase professionally.
Above all, we want to give your ideas a beautiful home, your words a wider audience, and your perspective the recognition it deserves. Because at L&M, the person behind the story matters just as much as the story itself.
Please note: Issue 06 is currently accepting unpaid guest contributions.
Before we get to the stories, we'd love to meet the person behind them. Just a few little introductions to get us started.
What should we call you?
*
Please enter your full name exactly as you'd like to be credited in the magazine.
This will be our primary way of contacting shortlisted contributors, so make sure it's an inbox you check regularly!
Some conversations are easier over a call! If you'd be comfortable discussing ideas or aligning on your contribution over the phone, we'd love to have that option. Completely optional, of course.
Please include your country code (e.g., +91 for India).
Where in the world are you writing from?
We'd love to know which little corner of the world you're joining us from!
