Pitch Guidelines

Why We Love Story Pitches

We value original reporting and firsthand experiences. A story pitch works best when it:

  • Has a clear news angle or discovery moment
  • Shows why it matters to our readers
  • Includes your direct experience or reporting
  • Offers something readers haven’t seen elsewhere

How to Submit Your Pitch

1. Write Your Pitch

Keep it concise. Two to three paragraphs is ideal. Tell us what you’ve discovered and why it caught your attention. This isn’t a full article — it’s an invitation for us to learn more.

2. Include Context

Let us know if there’s reporting involved, any exclusivity concerns, timeline, or other details that would help us understand your story. Include relevant photos if you have them.

3. Send It Over

Email your pitch to our editorial team with “Story Pitch” in the subject line. We review submissions thoughtfully and will respond within one week whenever possible.
