Write for us

Bold Leisure Review welcomes pitches from writers with a precise question about leisure, personal pastimes or the ways people make use of free time. We are interested in clear, self-contained ideas that give readers something to notice or consider without requiring specialist knowledge.

What we welcome

We consider explainers, thoughtful comparisons, historical context, examinations of common assumptions and pieces shaped around a particular occasion. A proposal should fit a named section and bring a distinct angle, rather than repeat familiar general advice. Topics should be safe for a general reader to explore without professional guidance.

A useful pitch

Tell us the working title, the central question, the main point readers will take away and why the subject suits Bold Leisure Review. Mention the proposed form and any sources or expertise the piece would rely on. Keep the pitch focused; a strong idea can usually be explained in a short paragraph.

Sending proposals

Send proposals through the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. We welcome original work and clear disclosures about any relevant interests. A pitch is a proposal, not a promise of publication; please do not send material that depends on confidential information.
