Write for us

Bright News Chronicle welcomes pitches for clear, original explanations that help general readers see a subject more sharply. We favour focused questions, precise detail and useful context over broad surveys or claims that outrun the evidence.

What makes a good pitch

Propose one distinct subject and the question at its centre. Explain what readers will understand by the end, why the subject suits Bright News Chronicle and how you would handle sources, uncertainty and unfamiliar terms. A concise outline is more useful than a finished article sent without an introduction.

What we look for

We are interested in accessible writing about nature, objects, ideas, places and history. Pitches should be original, specific and suitable for readers without specialist knowledge. Please avoid material that depends on professional, legal, financial or safety-critical advice, or claims that cannot be responsibly supported.

Send a proposal

Proposals are sent through the Contact page. Choose the editorial question option and include a proposed title, a short summary and any relevant source or image considerations. Sending a pitch does not guarantee publication; we will consider whether it fits the publication and its standards.
