Pitch an Article

We welcome freelance pitches and are always on the lookout for smart, analytical, balanced and well-research stories.

1. Familiarize yourself with our work. Your article should be grounded in sound data and objective, balanced analysis. We do not publish political advocacy. Bold, contrarian perspectives are welcome, as long as they are nuanced and supported by evidence.

2. Write a concise, compelling pitch. Keep it brief–use bullet points to explain why the topic matters and how you plan to approach it.

3. Send your pitch to articles@skeptic.com

If you choose to submit a completed manuscript, please note that if it's accepted for publication, it's likely to be edited and partially rewritten by our editorial team. In other words, it's better to send a pitch and work on shaping the article with us.
