Write for us

We welcome considered pitches about rooms, routines, household objects, care and the choices that make a home work. Send proposals through the Contact page.

What makes a strong pitch

Bring one clear question or idea, explain why it matters to readers and outline the specific angle you would take. We favour focused, evergreen subjects that can be explained without unsupported claims, professional advice or instructions for hazardous work.

A useful contribution

Good proposals make room for different homes and circumstances, explain trade-offs and give readers something concrete to consider. Tell us what kind of piece you have in mind and how it differs from coverage already on Active Home Journal.

How to send it

Use the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. Include a short summary, your proposed angle and any relevant context. A proposal is not a guarantee of publication; please do not send confidential or sensitive personal information.
