Write for us

Rural Concert Journal welcomes pitches that bring a fresh, well-defined view of rural concert life, its settings, customs or musical traditions. Send proposals through the Contact page, with enough detail for the editorial desk to understand the piece before considering it.

What suits the publication

We look for focused essays, explainers, comparisons, historical pieces and occasion-based guides that help readers understand or notice something specific. A strong proposal has a clear subject, a reason it matters to concertgoers or readers of rural culture, and a scope suited to a concise online article.

What to include

Use the Contact page to tell us the working title, central idea, intended reader and proposed approach. Mention the sources or material you would draw on, any relevant experience that informs the piece, and whether the proposal has been offered elsewhere. Do not send confidential material or make claims that cannot be supported.

Before sending

We value clear, original writing and careful distinctions between fact and interpretation. Avoid pitches that depend on unverified anecdotes, promotional copy or local rules that vary from place to place. A proposal is not a commission; the editorial desk will consider its fit and scope.
