We welcome either queries or finished articles, via email if possible. A query can consist of just a paragraph, or several. Describe what you plan to cover and your approach. Tell us your connection to it and your expertise. We’ll get back to you and let you know if we’re interested as soon as possible, ideally within 4 to 6 weeks. If you have completed a draft of the article, send it in attached to your email. If you’re attaching a word document with your pitch or submission, please include your name and contact info in the attachment. Most of our features run 2-4 pages in the magazine, which translates into 1800-2700 words.
