Write for us

We welcome considered pitches that bring a distinct perspective to family stories, traditions, generational connection, family change, or the keeping of shared records.

What makes a good pitch

Send a focused proposal with a working title, the central idea, why it matters to readers, and the specific angle you would take. Explain what makes the piece useful or revealing without promising claims you cannot support. We welcome fresh subjects and careful approaches that avoid treating one family model as the norm.

What to send

Tell us briefly about your relevant experience with the subject and note any potential conflicts or commercial interests. A complete draft is not needed for an initial proposal. Please do not include private family details about other people unless you have permission to share them.

How to propose

Send proposals through the Contact page and select the editorial option. We review submissions for fit, clarity, and originality; a proposal is not an assurance of publication.
