Write for us

Rising Comedy Guide welcomes pitches that help readers notice a specific choice in comedy writing, performance, form, history or audience experience. Send proposals through the Contact page; unsolicited full drafts are not required.

What we welcome

Pitch a focused, evergreen piece with a clear question and a distinct point of view. Useful approaches include comparing two comic forms, explaining a writing or performance choice, tracing a change in how a format works, or unpacking a common misconception without claiming one rule fits every act.

What makes a strong pitch

Tell us the proposed title or subject, the main idea, why it suits Rising Comedy Guide and what the reader will understand by the end. Keep the scope narrow enough to explain well. Note any examples or sources you expect to use, and disclose relevant commercial interests.

Sending a proposal

Use the Contact page and choose the editorial option. Include your name, a way to reply and a concise pitch. Do not send confidential material or assume that a submission has been accepted unless we agree to it.
