Global Comment

Where the world thinks out loud

Write for us

It’s great that you want to contribute to Global Comment, and we welcome pitches from people at all levels of experience from all over the world. Our goal is to promote conversations and diverse media.

We don’t like neo-Nazis. Or terrorists. We strive to publish a variety of opinions on this site, but we do have a strong view as to what is and isn’t acceptable discourse. We lean towards progressive voices and oppose populism; if you read the existing writing on the site, you will probably have a good idea of whether or not your work is right for us. If you aren’t sure, ask! What we are looking for:

Well-informed essays on a topic you are fascinated by or passionate about

Reviews of films, TV, books, music or theatre that’s at a national or international level.

Well-researched opinion or comment pieces on a topic you feel strongly about

We only publish original work that hasn’t been published in any form elsewhere, even on your own blog.

How to pitch

You can find some guidelines for people who want to pitch articles to Global Comment below. Please read them before getting in touch. For many of our writers, English is a second language, and many of our writers also don’t have extensive experience as published writers. This is not something that holds them back, nor should it hold you back if you are in these situations.

Provide us with a few sentences about what you’d like to write and the resources you want to draw upon and please provide clips, a blog, or other examples of your work. Give us a short bio to get to know you.

Tell us why you want to write about and why you are the person who should say what you have to say. And tell us why Global Comment is the best home for this piece. If you’d like to send us a submission, please briefly introduce yourself and the piece and include your submission in the body of the email. If you’re going to do simultaneous pitches or submissions, please inform us beforehand.

Where to pitch

Now get thinking about what you’d like to submit. Surprise us. Make the ordinary extraordinary — or take on the extraordinary and put it in context. When you’re ready, send us an email to email @ globalcomment dot com
