Write for us

We welcome considered pitches about coastal places, waterfronts, infrastructure and the ways shore communities use and adapt their surroundings. A strong proposal has a clear question and a useful point for general readers.

What to pitch

Send an original idea with a specific angle, a short summary of the main point and an indication of what a reader will understand after reading it. We are interested in explanations, comparisons, histories and place-based essays that can be supported with clear, checkable material.

What makes a strong piece

Keep the proposed subject distinct from coverage already on the site. Use plain language, explain specialist terms and distinguish established facts from interpretation. Do not send confidential information, unsupported allegations or material that depends on professional advice for readers to act safely.

How to send a proposal

Use the Contact page and select the editorial question option for a pitch. Include a working title, the central question, a short outline and any relevant writing samples or source notes. Please send a proposal rather than a completed unsolicited article.
