Write for us

We welcome clear, carefully framed proposals about northern regional history and place. Contributions should help general readers understand a particular route, workplace, building, custom or landscape without relying on specialist credentials.

What makes a good proposal

Send a concise pitch that names the subject, explains the central question and shows why the piece suits Northern Chronicle. Tell us the likely scope and the kinds of sources or materials the article would draw on. We value distinct angles, sound context and writing that separates documented detail from interpretation.

Before you send

Please propose one focused piece rather than a broad survey, and disclose any relevant interests or previous publication. Do not send confidential material or a complete draft unless requested. All proposals are sent through the Contact page; choose the editorial question option and include your pitch in the message.
