We're smart people. You don't have to dumb down your stories. You do have to write clearly, directly, and intelligently. Our readers recognize underreporting, overwriting, preaching, unclear thinking, and pseudo-sophistication when they see it. So don't be a poser.
Writers come in all ages and types and backgrounds.
More important than journalism experience is knowing a subject very well and being able to write clearly about it. We are very open-minded. If you have not worked with us before, send us a written query about your article idea. Tell us who you are and what kind of article you'd like to write. We'll let you know if the idea has possibilities.
