Write for us

Lively Community News welcomes considered pitches about the choices that help people take part in shared community life. Send your proposal through the Contact page rather than submitting a full article first.

Subjects that fit

Pitch an evergreen subject about gatherings, communication, participation, shared work or neighbourhood connections. A useful contribution tackles one clear question and gives readers an idea they can adapt without relying on statistics, professional credentials or rules that vary from place to place.

What to include

Explain the subject, the reader it would serve and the main point you want to make. Include a proposed headline and a brief outline of the approach. Tell us whether the idea has appeared elsewhere and disclose any relevant interests that could affect how readers understand it.

Before sending

Keep the pitch specific and independent of promotional claims. We do not promise publication or a particular response time. Proposals and editorial questions should be sent through the Contact page.
