Write for us

Meridian and Mile welcomes clear, original proposals that help readers understand maps, navigation or geography. Send a pitch through the Contact page; unsolicited completed work is not required.

Topics we welcome

Pitch an explanation, comparison, mapmaking history, close reading of a map feature or practical piece about a navigation concept. Strong proposals stay within the publication's subject and give readers a distinct idea to take away.

What to include

Use the Contact page to tell us the proposed subject, its central question, why it suits Meridian and Mile and how you would approach it. Mention relevant experience only if it helps explain your perspective; do not send confidential or unpublished material.

What makes a strong pitch

Keep the idea focused and specific. Explain what the reader will understand by the end, identify any claims that need careful qualification and avoid relying on statistics, specialist access or first-hand testing unless the proposal explains why they are necessary.
