Write for us

We welcome pitches that help readers notice how a festival custom, shared meal, handmade object or gathering takes shape. Send proposals through the Contact page rather than submitting a full article without agreement.

What to pitch

Propose one focused story in festival culture: for example, an explanation of a repeated ritual, a comparison of ways to arrange a shared meal, or an account of how a festival object carries meaning. Choose a clear reader question and a distinct angle that fits one of our sections.

What makes a strong proposal

Tell us the working title, the central idea, what a reader will understand after reading, and how you would support factual claims. Note any relevant experience or material you can draw on without implying access or authority you do not have. Keep the pitch specific and avoid treating one community's practice as universal.

Sending a proposal

Use the Contact page and select the editorial option. A proposal is not a promise of publication. Please do not include private information about others or send material you do not have permission to share.
