Write for us

We welcome pitches that help readers understand maps, terrain, navigation habits or the history of representing places. A strong proposal has a clear question, a defined reader and a useful answer that can be explained without relying on unverified claims or specialist access.

What we are looking for

Bring us original ideas about reading maps, recognising landforms, planning routes in general terms or understanding how maps are made and interpreted. We value precise explanations, thoughtful comparisons and stories that make a familiar map detail newly visible.

What to include

Explain the proposed subject, its central point and why it would be useful to our readers. Mention the format you have in mind and any relevant experience with the subject, but do not send confidential material or assume that a proposal will be accepted.

How to pitch

Send proposals through the Contact page, selecting the editorial question option and including a concise outline. We may ask follow-up questions before deciding whether an idea fits.
