SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
What we are looking for
We want to be home to brave storytelling about unchartered territories. We want writing that is easy to understand even if the subject matter isn’t. We exist to challenge old school consumer-led publications. We want to publish stories that are memorable, turbulent and thoughtful. We want to publish stories that readers talk about and want to share. Stories that wake people up.
Types of Submissions
Articles
Articles are a combination of features and OpEd pieces on topics that probe deeply into or agitate topics that range from how we think of technology in relation to:
natural intelligence – what wisdom we can draw on from our natural worlds
mystical practice – what can we learn from healers, seekers, gurus past and present
ancient wisdom - what can indigenous guides and knowledge teach us
We are broad in how we define technology and spirituality: we cover artistic expressions and commercial outputs of AI, ML, CHI, robotics; natural technology that already exists in the world we inhabit; we look to mystic tools (past and present) in relation to the arts and how artistic exploration can breed creative innovation.
Articles can be medium to long form written pieces.
Medium form pieces are no longer than 750 words.
Long form pieces are no longer than 1,500 words.
Visual Essays
Visual essays explore similar topics as above, told through static images, moving images or audio. We also ask for a short (100 word) explanation or introduction to the visual essay. When submitting assets, please refer to these guidelines for specs.
Q&A
We also include a regular feature profiling someone through a Q&A format. This is an invitation to interview someone in the field, someone with a strong or original view in this space. The twist is, the person interviewed can be dead or alive.
Please note
In the words of Stephen King, “To write is human, to edit is divine.” We will edit your submission and will work closely with you to ensure our readers get the very best from your piece.
Pitches
- For articles: pitches must include a top line – what your story is about; why our readers need to know; how you will tell the story and who you’ll be interviewing (if you are).
- For Q&As: tell us why you’ve selected the person to interview and if they’re no longer alive, how you will approach the interview.
- For visual stories: tell us what the work is about; why you’re submitting it and sample artwork if possible.
- For audio stories: tell us what your top line is, why you want our readers to experience it as audio and sample audio if possible.
- Please send us your ideas with “HUWD Submission” in the subject line. And please be brief.
