Write for us

Rising Current Affairs welcomes thoughtful proposals that help general readers understand how people, institutions and ideas connect across borders. We value a clear question, careful context and writing that leaves room for complexity.

What we welcome

We consider explanatory essays, comparisons, historical context and pieces that clarify a shared international idea or institution. Strong proposals take one manageable subject and show why it matters beyond a passing headline. We are especially interested in angles that make unfamiliar connections understandable without treating any community as a monolith.

A useful pitch

Tell us the proposed focus, the central question, why a general reader might care and how you would approach the material. Include a brief outline and any relevant experience you want us to consider, but do not send confidential information or assume a proposal has been accepted. We cannot promise publication or a particular response time.

Where to send it

Send proposals through the Contact page and select the editorial question option. Please pitch one distinct idea at a time and wait for a reply before sending a full draft, unless we have asked for one. Contributions must be original and must not rely on invented sources, unsupported claims or undisclosed promotional material.
