Pitch Us a Story
Not looking for an ongoing role? We accept one-off pitches from writers, critics, and contributors with a story worth telling. We're open to pieces across all our sections — Fashion & Style, Art & Culture, Music, Beauty, Books, Society — and we're as interested in a great book review as we are in a reported feature. Here's exactly what we need from you.
What to Include
Start with your top line — one or two sentences that tell us what the story is and why it matters right now. Then follow with three bullet points that cover the following:
- Context and angle. Have you seen a similar version of this story covered elsewhere? If so, what makes yours different? Who would you want to interview — if anyone — and what research would you bring to it? (Not every piece needs a subject. A book review, a trend piece, or a cultural essay works just as well.)
- How you see it working. Is this a long read, an interview, a review, a social-first piece? Would it live online or is it better suited to social media?
- Where it fits. Tell us which section you're pitching it to — Fashion & Style, Art & Culture, Music, Beauty, Books, or Society.
Subject Line
Your subject line should always read: PITCH: [your working title]
For example: PITCH: The Return of the Office Dress. Using PITCH in capitals helps us spot genuine submissions quickly.
Send your pitch by clicking below. We aim to respond within two weeks — if you haven't heard back after that, feel free to follow up once.
