A Quick Note Before You Hit Send: Our Editorial House Rules

We love bold ideas, sharp takes, and stories that make modern women pause mid-scroll. To keep our pages fresh and make sure we’re a great match, here is what you need to know before sharing your pitch:
Pitch first, let’s chat before the full draft: Save your precious writing time! Send us a crisp 2–3 paragraph pitch outlining your core idea, your unique angle, and why our readers need to hear it right now.
We’d love your 100% original, unpublished work: We want the story only you can tell. We only publish fresh pieces that haven’t lived on Medium, Substack, LinkedIn, or your personal blog before.
Keep it human (no AI shortcuts, please): We are here for your authentic voice, witty perspective, and lived experiences. If an algorithm wrote it, it’s not for us.
Good stories, not stealth sales pitches: Editorial essays are meant to inspire, challenge, or entertain. If your piece is secretly an ad for a product or a backlink project, reach out to our partnerships team instead!
A little editorial polish: If we greenlight your pitch, our editors will work with you on headlines and phrasing to make sure your piece shines while matching the magazine's tone.
Give us a little time: We read every single pitch with care. If your idea fits our current calendar, you’ll hear back within 7–10 business days. If not, don't be discouraged—we encourage you to take that brilliant story elsewhere!
