Write for us

We welcome pitches about festival-going that give readers a fresh, clear way to think about planning, programs, venues, audience customs, or keepsakes. A useful contribution starts with a distinct question and leaves room for different kinds of festivals and visitors.

What makes a strong pitch

Send a short outline of the idea, the reader it is for, and the main point the piece will make. Tell us what makes the subject distinct from familiar festival advice and how you would explain it without relying on unsupported claims or a single person's experience.

The subjects we are looking for

We are interested in thoughtful explainers, comparisons, histories, myth-checking, and occasion-specific guides. Useful topics might help readers choose between options, understand how a festival custom developed, or make a day feel less rushed. We do not seek promotional copy disguised as editorial work.

How to send a proposal

Send proposals through the Contact page and select the editorial question option. Please include a proposed title, a brief summary, and any relevant writing samples or links in your message. A pitch is a proposal, not a guarantee of publication.
