Write for us

We welcome clear, original proposals that help readers understand local civic processes without assuming specialist knowledge. Send pitches through the Contact page, with enough detail for us to assess the idea.

Ideas that fit

Strong proposals explain a process, clarify a confusing distinction or show readers how to approach a public-facing document. We welcome careful comparisons and background pieces that remain useful over time. Avoid presenting personal views as established fact or giving advice that depends on local rules.

A useful pitch

Tell us the working subject, the central question, the main point readers will take away and why the piece fits Local Civic Briefing. Mention the sources or documents you expect to consult, and disclose any relevant interests. A concise proposal is more useful than an unsolicited full draft.

Before sending

Work should be original, accurate and written in plain English. Explain specialist terms and distinguish documented facts from interpretation. We may edit for clarity, length and fit; sending a proposal does not guarantee publication. Use the Contact page to submit it.
