Alfredmcalpineplc welcomes thoughtful, original contributions from writers, journalists, and subject-matter experts. If you have a story, essay, or analysis you think our readers would value, we would like to hear from you.
What we publish
We accept guest submissions that fit the editorial direction of the site. Pieces should offer genuine insight or reporting rather than generic overviews. We prioritise writing that is well-researched, accurately sourced, and written in a clear, professional voice.
Submission guidelines
- Original work only — content must not be published elsewhere
- Typical length: 900–1,800 words
- At least two outbound references to credible sources
- Clean HTML or Google Doc format accepted
- One author bio with a single link
- No affiliate, sponsored, or promotional content
How to pitch
Send a short pitch (two or three sentences describing the angle and why it is timely) along with a sample of prior work. Complete drafts are welcome but not required for the initial contact.
What happens next
We aim to respond to every pitch within ten working days. If your idea is a fit we will confirm an angle, target length, and an agreed publication window. If it is not a fit we will let you know so you can place the piece elsewhere.
Editorial approach
We read each submission properly. We are not interested in bulk outreach, keyword-stuffed drafts, or anything written to pass through a link placement pipeline. Writers who match our standards tend to become repeat contributors.
