What to bring to the desk.

A story only you can tell

Pitch an interview, a regional designer profile, a casting story or a reported beauty feature. Tell us the angle, who you can speak to and why it matters now.

Prepare an email ↗

Photography with a point of view

Share a portfolio link and a proposed story. Include who owns the work, the available usage rights, the photographer and full creative-team credits.

Prepare an email ↗

A record worth correcting

Send the page URL, the proposed correction, a dated public source and your connection to the subject. Agency changes and campaign credits need supporting documentation.

Prepare an email ↗

A useful first email.

  1. Your name, location and relevant work.
  2. A short pitch explaining the story and audience.
  3. The people, records or products you can access.
  4. Source links, proposed timing and any conflicts or brand relationships.
  5. For photography: portfolio, ownership, credits and proposed licensing terms.

How submissions work.

Proposals go to the editor for consideration. Sending a pitch does not guarantee a commission, publication or a response. Scope, fees and usage rights must be agreed before commissioned work begins.

Please send a concise pitch and links first. Keep unreleased material, private contact details and large attachments out of the initial email.
