Write for us

Bright Leisure Journal welcomes clear, original pitches about pastimes, outings, gatherings, seasonal recreation and the choices people make with their free time.

What we welcome

Pitch a specific subject that can help readers understand an activity, compare ways to spend time, avoid a common misconception or plan a particular kind of leisure occasion. We value fresh angles, careful explanations and ideas that do not depend on invented experience or unsupported claims.

What makes a strong pitch

Tell us the working idea, the reader question it answers, the main point you would make and why it fits Bright Leisure Journal. Include a brief outline and any relevant sources or expertise. Keep the proposal focused enough to show how it differs from a general list of suggestions.

Sending a proposal

Send pitches through the Contact page and select the editorial question option, explaining that your message is a contribution proposal. Do not send a complete article unless we have requested one. A submission is not a promise of publication.
