Write for us

We welcome pitches that help readers see comedy more clearly: a focused question, a useful example and a point of view that leaves room for complexity.

What to pitch

We consider proposals about joke craft, comic characters, performance choices, forms and comedy history. A strong pitch names its central question, explains why it matters to a general reader and shows what fresh angle the piece will take. Keep the subject specific enough to explore with care.

What makes a good proposal

Tell us the proposed argument or guiding question, the kind of examples you would use and why you are suited to write the piece. Distinguish what you know from what you would need to verify. We favour clear, original thinking over broad claims about what audiences always find funny.

How to send it

Send proposals through the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. Include a working title and a short outline in your message. Please do not submit a complete unsolicited article; we will review the idea before discussing a full draft.
