Write for us

We welcome pitches that help readers notice how a live performance is made and experienced. A good proposal starts with one specific question or detail and explains why it is worth a closer look.

What we welcome

We consider clear, original contributions about performance space, objects, movement, sound and audience experience. Useful pieces explain a focused idea in accessible language and give readers a concrete way to think about or notice it.

What to include

Briefly describe the proposed subject, the central point, the likely shape of the piece and why it suits Honest Stage Stories. Say whether the idea is an essay, comparison, historical account or another form. Disclose any relevant interests or relationships connected to the subject.

How to send a proposal

Send proposals through the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. A pitch is a proposal, not a promise of publication. Please do not send confidential material or assume that a submission will be returned.
