Write for us

Rural Current Journal welcomes considered pitches about landscapes, buildings, paths, materials, seasonal change and the character of rural places. We value a clear idea, a fresh angle and writing that helps a general reader notice or understand something specific.

What makes a strong pitch

Tell us the central question, the point you want readers to take away and why the subject suits Rural Current Journal. A focused proposal with a distinct angle is more useful than a broad topic. Explain any specialist context the piece needs and how you would handle uncertainty or variation between places.

The kind of writing we seek

We are interested in thoughtful explanations, comparisons, histories and close readings of rural details. Keep the prose clear and concrete; avoid inflated claims, unsupported generalisations and instructions that depend on professional judgement or local rules.

Send a proposal

Please send pitches through the Contact page, choosing the editorial question option and describing your idea in the message. A proposal is not a promise of publication. Do not send confidential material or assume a submission has been accepted until we have replied.
