Write for us
We welcome considered contributions that help readers understand northern landscapes and natural resources. A strong piece starts with a clear question and gives readers a grounded, readable way to think about it.
What we welcome
We are interested in original explainers, comparisons, histories and close readings of landforms, rocks, soils, waters and woodlands. Proposals should suit a general reader and work without asking them to carry out risky fieldwork, alter a site or rely on local rules.
What makes a good pitch
Tell us the subject, the central question, the main points the piece will make and why the topic suits Northern Resource. Include a brief note about the sources or material you would use and disclose any relevant commercial interest. Avoid claims that depend on unsupported statistics, invented experience or specialist authority the piece does not have.
Send a proposal
Send pitches through the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. A proposal is not a promise of publication; we consider fit, clarity, originality and the care needed to handle the subject.
A place is written in its resources
We follow the clues in stone, soil, water and trees to understand how northern landscapes take shape. Knowing a material's origins helps us see its place more clearly.
