Here are some points it would be useful for you to cover when submitting a pitch to us:



1) A synopsis of the piece


2) Who you are, and why you want to write this article or why you think you are the best person to do so


3) Why you feel it meets the brief/would appeal to the readers of [lock-on]
4) A longer explanation of what your piece will be about, ideally a couple of paragraphs

5) If you would like to submit a document, we would advise an open link to document uploaded to a Google Drive/Dropbox/equivalent cloud storage service account. If you would prefer you can instead send via attachment to publishing@lostincult.co.uk with the title ‘PITCH DOCUMENT - [Your Name]’

We are working 2-3 volumes in advance, so if you aren’t pitching for content we’re specifically requesting it may take us a little time to get back to you with an answer either, and we may commission your piece for a volume 3-9 months away (we are a quarterly publication).

If you’re unsure whether to pitch… just do it! While you may not be successful, we are always interested to hear new ideas, and are willing to work with people even if they’re new to writing or have difficulties. If we love your idea, we’ll do what we can to make it work.

We’re looking forward to reading your pitch!
