Write for us

Urban Weekly Dispatch welcomes pitches that help general readers notice and understand a specific feature of city life, with a clear idea and a useful way into the subject.

What we welcome

We consider concise, original proposals about streets, buildings, routes, public spaces and neighbourhood patterns. Strong pitches focus on one question, explain why it matters to a reader, and show what details or reliable sources can support the piece. Comparisons, explainers, background pieces and observation-led essays can all fit.

What makes a good pitch

Tell us the working title, the central idea, the likely shape of the piece and why it suits Urban Weekly Dispatch. Include relevant experience only where it helps us assess the proposal; no credentials are required. Do not send confidential material, unsupported claims about named places, or advice that depends on local rules or specialist inspection.

How to send it

Send proposals through the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. A pitch is a proposal, not a commission; please wait for an editorial response before drafting a full article. We cannot promise publication or a response time.
