Write for us

We welcome pitches that help readers understand energy-saving homes without assuming specialist knowledge. Send proposals through the Contact page, selecting the editorial option and outlining the subject, the reader’s question, and your approach.

Subjects we welcome

Strong proposals examine a distinct question about heat flow, insulation, ventilation, heating, appliances, or how the parts of a home work together. We are interested in clear explainers, decision-making frameworks, and articles that help readers know what to look at or ask next.

A useful pitch

Keep the proposal focused: give us a working title, a short summary, the intended reader, and the main points the article will cover. Explain what makes the subject useful over time and flag any claims that depend on location, building type, or specialist assessment.

Clear, careful writing

Use plain English, explain technical terms when they are needed, and separate established principles from assumptions. We do not seek unsupported savings promises, product promotion presented as neutral advice, or copy that treats every home as if it were the same.
