Clever Festival Guide

Write for us

We welcome pitches about the choices, habits and customs that shape festival-going. Send proposals through the Contact page, with enough detail for us to see the angle before you begin a full draft.

What we are looking for

Good subjects might compare two ways of approaching a festival day, explain a familiar custom, unpack a planning habit or offer a thoughtful guide to a particular kind of visit. We favour clear, evergreen ideas readers can adapt without specialist knowledge or local rule-checking.

A useful pitch

Tell us the proposed subject, the central idea, who it may help and what the reader will understand or be able to decide afterward. Mention the format you have in mind and flag any experience or material the piece would depend on. We value a distinct angle over a long list of possible topics.

Our editorial fit

Pitches should be original, specific and honest about their limits. Avoid unsupported claims, disguised advertising and advice that depends on professional expertise or changing local requirements. We may suggest a different focus or decline a proposal that does not fit the publication.
