The process

We will consider all submissions, but due to the high volume of submissions we cannot respond to each author.

If we accept the piece, we will contact you within 3 weeks of submission. If you do not hear from us, we are no longer considering your piece for publication.

If your piece is accepted, you must be willing to respond to as many as two to three rounds of edits and fact checks as needed.
