Write for us

We welcome thoughtful pitches from writers who can make a concert-going question clear and engaging for a general reader. A proposal should offer a distinct idea, useful context and a reason it will still matter beyond a single event.

Ideas we welcome

Pitch an evergreen piece about listening, concert formats, programmes, venue customs or the small decisions that shape an evening of live music. Strong ideas start with a specific reader question and lead somewhere more useful than a list of tips or a broad celebration of music.

What to include

Briefly describe the proposed angle, the reader it serves, the main points you would develop and why the subject suits Honest Concert Journal. Mention any specialist terms or claims that would need careful explanation, and disclose any relevant relationship that could affect the piece.

Sending a proposal

Please send pitches through the Contact page, selecting the editorial question option and introducing your proposal in the message. Unsolicited full drafts are not needed; a clear outline is enough for us to understand the idea.
