Write for us

Golden World Dispatch welcomes pitches that make a precise, fresh subject about gold legible to a curious general reader. Send proposals through the Contact page; unsolicited full articles are not needed.

Subjects that fit

We consider pitches about gold's material qualities, craft, design, histories, symbols and appearances in objects or visual culture. A strong proposal has a clear question, a defined scope and a reason the subject rewards close attention. It should avoid treating cultures as interchangeable or claiming a single universal meaning.

Make the pitch specific

Tell us the proposed working title, the central idea, the angle that makes it distinct and the kind of reader it serves. Mention the key examples or materials you would use, how you would handle uncertainty, and any relevant experience or connection to the subject. Keep the proposal focused enough that its boundaries are clear.

Editorial expectations

Contributions should be original, carefully reasoned and written in clear English. We value concrete detail, proportionate claims and a visible distinction between fact and interpretation. Avoid promotional copy, unsupported cultural generalisations, investment advice and claims that require specialist authority to make safely. Sending a pitch does not guarantee publication.

Where to send it

Use the Contact page and choose the editorial question option to submit a proposal. Include a way for the editorial desk to reply in the form. Please do not include private or confidential material.
