Write for us

Silver News Journal welcomes pitches that help general readers understand silver as a material, craft, object, historical presence or cultural symbol. Send proposals through the Contact page; please do not submit a finished article unless requested.

Ideas we welcome

We are interested in focused, evergreen ideas that explain a technique, compare object forms, clarify a historical context or examine how silver is used and understood in a particular setting. A strong pitch has a defined reader question and a clear reason the subject belongs in Silver News Journal.

What makes a good pitch

Briefly describe the proposed angle, the main point readers will take away and the context or sources you would use. Be specific about the scope: a precise subject is easier to assess than a broad survey. Make clear which details are factual and which are interpretation, and flag any access or rights considerations.

Sending a proposal

Use the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. Include your name, a way to reply and a concise outline of the idea. A pitch is a proposal, not a promise of publication, and we may suggest a different scope if an idea is a better fit in another form.
