Write for us

Bright Music Review welcomes considered pitches about listening, songcraft and the details that make music rewarding to hear. Send proposals through the Contact page, choosing the editorial question option.

What we are looking for

Pitch an evergreen subject that can be explained clearly without requiring specialist access, confidential material or first-hand testing. Useful angles include a musical idea readers can hear, a thoughtful comparison, a piece of music history or a listening exercise.

What makes a strong pitch

State the central question, the reader takeaway and the distinctive angle in a few sentences. Tell us why the subject suits Bright Music Review, and identify any sources or permissions the piece would depend on.

Before you send

Please propose an idea rather than submitting a finished article unless we have requested one. We cannot promise publication, and a pitch should not assume approval, payment or a particular publication date.
