Eternity contributor invitations
Eternity contributor invitations
People we want to invite, or have already invited, to submit a piece for Issue 3 (Eternity). This is a list of potential contributors, not of people we're sending the magazine to. Add one row per person. Use the Contacted? column to show whether we have reached out yet: Yes or No. Keep email addresses and postal addresses out of this file. Link the email thread instead. Tasks to chase people go in Beads (epic lip-str), not here.
Status values: To invite · Invited · Declined · Declined for now · Interested · Contributing · On hold
| Name | Why / angle | Contacted? | Date contacted | By | Status | Response / notes | Next step | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sarah Wilson | Author and podcaster (Over the Mountains #19). Meaning, beauty and connection amid uncertainty. | Yes | 2026-10-15 | Sylvie | Interested | Said she has no time for a new piece now. She offered a book extract and a longevity piece she's writing for her Substack, which could be reworked for the theme. Sylvie suggested adapting the longevity piece and said she needs it by January. Sarah will forward it once it's up. She is travelling until May 2027. A free copy of Mythos is on hold until she has a settled address. | Watch for the longevity piece, then Sylvie checks whether it fits. Possible coffee in Paris around 22 Dec. | Email thread |
| Verena Stenke | Artist (VestAndPage), performance art, doctoral researcher in artistic research. Sylvie invited her for her work on the beyond-human and performance art. | Yes | 2026-10-15 | Sylvie | Declined for now | Replied 20 Oct. She can't offer support at the moment: she has just started her PhD, has three articles under peer review, and is busy with curation and teaching. She can't take on another text for the next 8 to 10 months, but would love to reconnect after that. She would like a free copy of Mythos and sent her postal address in the email. | Send her a free Mythos copy. Reconnect around mid to late 2027. | Email thread |
