Open Style Journal

Write for us

We welcome clear, original pitches that help readers understand a style choice, visual convention or claim without turning taste into a prescription.

What to pitch

Propose a focused subject in clothing, interiors, objects, images or style language. Strong ideas have a distinct question, a useful explanation or comparison, and a reason a general reader would care. We welcome accessible essays and reported or explanatory pieces that do not depend on unsupported claims.

Make the case

Send a short summary of the central idea, the points you would cover and why your approach is distinct. Mention relevant experience only if it helps explain your perspective; do not imply credentials you do not hold. Tell us whether the idea has been published or offered elsewhere.

How to send it

Submit proposals through the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. Please send a pitch rather than a finished article unless we have requested a draft. A submission is not a promise of publication, and we will consider whether the subject and approach fit the publication.
