Write for us

Lasting News Compass welcomes clear, original pitches about durable design and the lives of objects, from material choices to care, repair, reuse and passing things on.

What we welcome

Pitch a focused explanation, comparison, historical background piece, myth check or occasion-specific guide that gives readers a fresh way to understand an object's useful life. Strong ideas stay within a clear subject and can help a general reader without relying on professional advice, hazardous work or rules that vary by place.

What makes a good pitch

Tell us the working title, the central question, the main point a reader will take away and why the piece suits Lasting News Compass. Mention the scope and any specialist input the topic would require. Keep the proposal original and specific; a broad list of tips is harder to assess than one well-framed idea.

How to send it

Send proposals through the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. Please include enough detail to show the proposed angle. A pitch is not a promise of publication, and we will consider whether the subject fits our remit and can be handled responsibly.
