For Contributors

Submission guidelines, in plain language.

We accept essays, reported features, photo essays, audio pieces, and translated work from both established and first-time contributors. Here's how the process works — and what we look for.

01

Read three pieces first.

Before you pitch, spend an hour with our archive. The best pitches show us you understand the kind of curiosity, reporting depth, and prose voice that fits Vaskoglass.
02

Send a 200-word pitch, not a draft.
