Write for us

We welcome clear, original pitches about astronomy, skywatching and the ways people observe and interpret the heavens. A strong idea gives readers a useful question to carry outside or into the next explanation.

What to pitch

Propose an explainer, comparison, history piece or observing guide grounded in a specific subject. Good pitches make their scope clear, name the reader question, and say what the article will help a general reader understand or do.

How to shape it

Keep the idea focused enough to explain without specialist credentials or risky instructions. Tell us what makes the subject worth a closer look, what sources or expertise the piece would need, and whether you are offering a complete draft or a proposal.

Sending a proposal

Send pitches through the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. Include a working title, a short outline and a brief note about your relevant experience; no credentials are required to suggest an idea.
