Submit

Original op-ed, essay, and creative submissions are welcome.

Please send completed works or pitches to submit@merionwest.com with the subject line “Submission” to be considered for publication. Submissions that have previously appeared elsewhere, including on personal blogs, cannot be considered. 

Please make clear if a submission is simultaneously being offered to other publications, and please include hyperlinks in the text for specific claims and figures.

Please keep essay submissions under 4,000 words. Op-eds ideally range from 700-1,200 words.

Interview requests can also be sent to the above email address.

We encourage would-be submitters to read the magazine to get a sense of our style and approach.

If submitting poetry, please do so through Duosuma by Duotrope. Before submitting, please review the poetry submission guidelines.
