Write for us

We welcome clear, original pitches about rural clothing, textiles, garment making, care and dress customs. Proposals should help readers understand a specific subject without assuming that one rural experience represents all others.

What makes a good pitch

Send a focused idea, the question it will answer, why it matters to readers and a brief outline of the approach. Explain what the piece can establish using appropriate sources or well-defined general knowledge. We are interested in explanatory articles, comparisons, histories and useful pieces about ordinary clothing choices; avoid unsupported claims, disguised product promotion and material that requires readers to follow safety-critical or professional instructions.

How to propose it

Use the Contact page and choose the editorial question option, then include your proposed title or subject and a short summary. Do not send confidential information or assume that a pitch has been accepted until a response confirms interest. We cannot promise publication, payment or a response time in advance.
