Pitch a piece

Hearth and Hush welcomes original pitches about the choices, features, and habits that shape energy use and comfort at home. We are looking for clear, grounded writing that leaves readers better able to think through a familiar household question.

What fits

We consider explanatory pieces, useful comparisons, thoughtful histories, myth-checking, and practical guides to everyday routines or settings. A strong contribution has a distinct subject, a clear reader in mind, and a sensible scope. It does not rely on hazardous do-it-yourself work, unsupported savings claims, or instructions that require a professional assessment.

Make the pitch specific

Use the Contact page to propose an idea. Tell us the working title, the central question, what the piece would help a reader understand, and why your approach is distinct from material already covered here. Briefly describe relevant experience without overstating credentials, and mention any interests or relationships connected to the subject.

Original work and review

Pitches should be original and written for this publication, not a recycled article or a product promotion in editorial clothing. We may ask for changes to improve clarity, scope, sourcing, or fit. Sending a proposal does not guarantee publication, and please do not send sensitive personal or property information.
