Pitch a piece

We welcome original pitches about making use of city free time, from the shape of a satisfying walk to choosing a cultural stop or planning an unhurried day out.

What we welcome

Pitch clear, specific ideas that fit city walks, arts and culture, food stops, outdoor time or weekend planning. Strong proposals offer readers an adaptable way to think, choose or plan, without relying on unsupported claims or a writer’s access to places the reader cannot reasonably reach.

What to include

Tell us the central idea, why it suits Active City Briefing and what a reader will take away. Include a brief outline, the intended format and any relevant experience or interests. A concise proposal is more useful than a finished article sent without context.

How to send a pitch

Send proposals through the Contact page and choose the editorial question option, explaining that your message is a pitch. Please do not send confidential material or work that you do not have permission to share.
