Write for us

We welcome thoughtful pitches about weekends as people actually spend them: their small plans, home-based pleasures, outings, gatherings, and seasonal habits. A strong proposal has a clear point and gives readers something specific to consider.

What to pitch

Pitch a focused, evergreen story that can stand on its own without invented experience, specialist authority, statistics, or claims that need readers to check local rules. We are interested in distinct angles, useful comparisons, background that changes how a familiar custom looks, and occasion-based ideas that leave room for different preferences.

What makes a good proposal

Tell us the working title, the central idea, what the reader will take away, and why this angle suits Honest Weekend Stories. Mention any sources or first-hand experience the proposal depends on, and say whether the piece has been offered elsewhere. A concise, specific pitch is more helpful than a complete draft sent without context.

How to send it
