Pitching Stories to The Culture Digital Publication
Send pitches to editor@theculture.xyz.
The subject line for the email should state: Online Submission: TITLE OF ARTICLE
What to include in your pitch?
- The pitch should include a working headline, a 200-word summary of the story, ideas for photos or infographics, and a proposed word count. If there is a deadline by which you need an answer, please specify.
- The summary should include: why The Culture’s readers should care about this story; why this is an important story now; how your story will build on what has already been said about this topic; and links to relevant studies and source bios.
- If you haven’t written for The Culture before, include links to recently published pieces and/or your online portfolio.
- Across the board, we’re looking for pitches that give a clear, concise summary of the subject, angle, or thesis of the proposed piece, and your anticipated story structure. We’re looking for pitches that contain answers, not questions.
