Partner With GNL Magazine
GNL Magazine is a Black-woman-owned gaming and culture publication dedicated to thoughtful editorial coverage, in-depth guides, reviews, and stories that resonate with our engaged community of players and tech enthusiasts. We work with brands and partners whose products, services, and stories align with our audience and editorial mission.
We offer collaboration opportunities that go beyond traditional advertising — each proposed partnership is crafted to deliver value to both readers and brands in an authentic, editorial voice.
All sponsored content is reviewed and edited to meet our editorial standards before publication. Placement is never guaranteed simply by purchase — quality, relevance, and audience interest are our priorities.
How Our Editorial Partnerships Work
Rather than link insertion or passive placements, we focus on curated, narrative-driven content that aligns with GNL Magazine’s identity and serves our audience first.
We do not offer:
Link insertion or retrospective edits to existing articles
Pre-written third-party articles provided by external parties
Content unrelated to gaming, gaming tech, or culture
Editorial integrity is core to everything we publish.

GNL Magazine is not affiliated with any black hat SEO providers, link directories, or third-party sites offering paid backlinks or link insertions. If you found us through such a platform, please note that we did not authorize that listing. All advertising and sponsorship inquiries must go through our official channels.
We do not accept gambling, casino, betting, CBD, writing services, dating, adult, forex, detox, cryptocurrency, or other grey niche submissions. We do not accept grey niche content.
Submissions violating this list will be rejected and may not be refunded.
