Bold Policy Briefing welcomes pitches that help general readers understand a specific part of public policy without turning a complicated question into a false certainty.

What to pitch

We consider clear explainers, comparisons of policy tools, accounts of decision-making processes, implementation walkthroughs and careful pieces on evaluation. A useful proposal names one reader question, gives the central distinction or idea the piece will clarify, and explains why the subject can be handled with the available material.

What makes a strong proposal

Keep the scope narrow enough to support each claim. Show how the piece will separate stated aims from delivery or results, name any important limits, and say what source material you expect to use. Avoid promotional copy, unsupported claims of impact and pitches that depend on confidential information.

How to send it

Send proposals through the Contact page and choose the editorial option. Include a working title, a short summary, the proposed approach and any relevant links or source references in the message. A pitch is a proposal, not a promise of publication; please do not send confidential material.
