Write for us

We welcome pitches that help readers make, arrange, collect or enjoy something with care and imagination, especially when the idea works with ordinary materials and a modest amount of time.

What to pitch

Propose a focused story in paper projects, creative reuse, collections, pastimes or weekend plans. Strong ideas explain what the reader will understand or be able to try, why the subject suits Silver Weekend Stories, and what makes your approach distinct from a general list of tips.

How to make a pitch useful

Send a brief summary, a possible working title, the intended reader and a few lines about how you would develop the piece. Mention any materials or experience the idea depends on, and be clear about whether it requires purchases or special conditions. Do not send a finished article unless requested.

Where to send it

Send proposals through the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. A pitch is a proposal, not a promise of publication; please do not include sensitive personal information.
