Write for us

We welcome considered contributions about film culture beyond plot and review. Bring us a clear subject, an original angle, and a piece that lets curious readers follow the idea without specialist knowledge.

Ideas we are interested in

Pitch pieces about moviegoing, exhibition, film objects, screen memories, or the customs around watching films. A focused comparison, a well-framed cultural history, a useful explanation, or an observation about an overlooked detail may all suit the publication.

What makes a strong pitch

Tell us the central question, what the reader will take away, and why the subject fits Vibrant Film Spotlight. Keep the proposal specific enough to distinguish it from a general essay about cinema. Note any sources or image considerations that are important to the idea, and disclose relevant commercial interests.

Send a proposal

Send pitches through the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. Please propose the idea rather than sending a complete article unless we have requested one. We cannot promise publication or a particular response time.
