How the editorial process works
Email your piece to the address above. We accept .docx and .pdf — whichever you prefer.
Within ten working days you get a yes, a no, or a request for revisions — with reasons either way.
On accepted pieces we edit for argument, sources, and copy. You have the final word — we won't change your meaning.
Once you sign off on the edit, we schedule and publish — and amplify the piece across our channels.
