News Harbor

Write for us

News Harbor welcomes pitches that help readers understand a distinct aspect of harbors, from the purpose of a structure to the way vessels, navigation, and waterfront activity fit together. Send proposals through the Contact page.

What makes a strong pitch

A good pitch names one clear question, explains why it matters to a curious reader, and shows how the piece would answer it. We welcome accessible explainers and carefully framed essays about harbor forms, working waters, vessels, navigation, and waterfronts. Prefer a focused subject that can be treated accurately without unsupported claims.

What to include

Briefly describe the proposed article, its central point, the material you would use to support it, and any relevant experience with the subject. Flag local or technical limits that matter. Please do not send a complete unpublished article unless we have requested it.

How to send it

Use the Contact page and choose the editorial question option to submit a proposal. Include a concise summary and a way for us to reply through the form. A submission is a proposal, not a promise of publication; we consider clarity, fit, and the care the subject requires.
