Guidelines
Before you submit.
-
I
Format
Submit as a .docx file using the form.
-
II
Links, not footnotes
Use hyperlinks rather than footnotes.

III
Unpublished work only
We do not accept work that has been published elsewhere, including on your own Substack or blog. We occasionally republish a piece from one of our contributing writers, but that is by invitation.

IV
Patience
Allow up to two weeks for a reply before asking for an update. If the submission is time-sensitive, note that in the subject line and we'll do our best to review it sooner.

New Writers
Meet us first.
This fall we are hosting three one-hour conversations over Zoom for writers who have pitched us and for those who have been wanting to. Part introduction, part training, each one built around a single essay we read beforehand. They are free and open to anyone. See the dates.
