Write for us

Northern Connection welcomes pitches that help readers understand a real link between northern places, people, words, customs or histories. We are interested in focused work with a clear question, grounded context and room for differences between communities.

What to pitch

Send a concise proposal for an original article: explain its central question, the connection it follows, why the subject suits Northern Connection and what a general reader will understand by the end. Tell us the intended scope and how you would handle local context or differing interpretations.

What makes a strong contribution

We value precise language, a distinct angle and claims that can be checked. Useful contributions explain terms, separate evidence from interpretation and avoid sweeping statements about northern people or places. A pitch should offer more than a broad theme or a collection of loosely related facts.

How to send a proposal

Send your proposal through the Contact page and select the editorial question option. Include a short outline and any relevant writing sample or links in your message. Please do not send a complete draft unless it has been requested; a proposal is enough for an initial conversation.
