Write for us
Genuine Conversation welcomes pitches that make an aspect of talking with others easier to notice and understand. We are interested in thoughtful, self-contained ideas for curious general readers, not claims of a universal formula.
What we welcome
Propose explainers, comparisons, histories, close readings of conversational habits or low-stakes prompts readers can try in ordinary exchanges. A strong piece has one clear question, a distinct central idea and examples that do not depend on private stories or unsupported claims.
Make the pitch specific
Tell us the working title, the main point, why the subject suits this publication and how your proposed piece differs from familiar advice. Note any sources or factual claims that will need checking. Please do not send confidential information or material you do not have permission to share.
Send a proposal
Send your pitch through the Contact page and select the editorial question option. A proposal is not a promise of publication. We will consider whether its scope, approach and examples fit the site.
Conversation is something we make together
A useful exchange is rarely a perfect performance. It is a series of small choices: listening, asking, clarifying and making space for a reply.
