Write for us
Creative Journal welcomes pitches that make a particular part of creative practice easier to see. We are interested in considered, reader-first writing, not generic lists of inspiration or claims that one routine unlocks everyone’s work.
What to pitch
Propose a focused subject within observation, idea making, creative habits, materials or sharing work. A strong pitch names the central question, the intended reader and the specific insight the piece will offer. Practical, evergreen ideas are welcome when readers can use them without specialist supervision or risky instructions.
What makes a good proposal
Explain why the subject deserves attention, how you would approach it and what the reader should understand by the end. Flag any relevant limits, disagreement or uncertainty. We value a distinct point of view, clear examples and a scope that can be handled carefully; please do not send a finished article unless requested.
How to send it
Send proposals through the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. Include a concise pitch and any relevant context about the proposed piece. A submission is not a promise of publication, and we will consider whether it fits the publication’s subject and approach.
Make the process visible.
Creative work is not a lightning strike; it is a series of choices. We pay attention to those choices, without pretending there is one right way to make something.
