Urban Stories welcomes thoughtful pitches about streets, buildings, public spaces, city nature, and urban change. We are interested in clear ideas that help readers notice how a place works and why its details matter.
What makes a good pitch
Send a concise description of the central idea, why it suits Urban Stories, and what a reader will understand by the end. Name the place or type of place involved, explain the angle, and note any sources, permissions, or images the piece would require. We value a distinct point of view supported by careful description and sound context.
Contributions we consider
We consider reported explainers, essays grounded in specific places, visual stories with clear captions, and practical pieces that help readers interpret urban settings. A useful pitch has a defined scope and does not depend on unsupported claims, invented scenes, or access that has not been arranged.
How to send a proposal
Send your pitch through the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. Include a working title and a short outline in your message. Please do not submit a complete manuscript unless it has been requested.
