To submit a story idea, consider which section of the magazine you’re pitching; detailed guidelines and the best contact for your initial pitch are listed below. All pitches should include the word “query” in the subject line and should be emailed to the addresses below. No phone calls, please.
We are not interested in writing that mythologizes the West, nor that follows offensive lines of thought. We welcome writers with a strong point of view and a good story to tell.
A few additional tips: If you have them, please include links or clips showing previous writing you’ve done. Check out our archives before pitching to make sure something similar to your idea hasn’t appeared in HCN before. And please pitch us original writing that you haven’t already published elsewhere.
