Section 02 · The Invitation

Untamed Today is not a magazine you pitch.
It is a record you earn a place in.

We publish a new edition the first Wednesday of every month. Each edition ranks twenty-six voices the industry has overlooked, underestimated, or refused to position with weight. Each placement is produced with editorial care, written with the house voice, and distributed across the Untamed ecosystem.

Volume One is the founding edition. The one the rest is built on. Founding-member pricing applies to this volume only — applications close May 24, 2026. From June 1, 2026, every edition publishes at full retail.

Section 03 · The Publication

The Untamed 26 is a monthly editorial publication. Volume One is the founding edition.

Each month, twenty-six voices are placed inside a ranked editorial edition — a Cover, two Premium positions, seven Signature positions, and sixteen Featured positions. The structure is designed so every name receives a placement that matches the weight of their work, with editorial care applied across every tier.

Volume One publishes June 3, 2026. Volume Two follows on July 1, 2026. Founding pricing applies only to this volume — applications close May 24, 2026. From that day forward, every position publishes at full retail.

Volume One is the one the rest is built on.

Section 05 · Untamed Talks

The interview that
becomes the proof.

Untamed Talks is the on-camera arm of the publication. A long-form filmed interview, edited into video and audio formats, published alongside the written feature inside the edition.

The Cover and the two Premium positions include an Untamed Talks interview as part of their feature. Signature and Featured positions can add an Untamed Talks interview for $400 flat — a fixed editorial production rate that does not flex with tier or volume.

Filmed

Cinematic editorial captured with the same weight as the written feature — not social cutdowns.

Long-form

Conversations built to outlast the week. Depth over reach.

Narrative

Positioning written around your work, your voice, and the reason you exist.

Distributed

Released across the Untamed ecosystem and archived with a permanent URL.
