Have an idea? Want to write for us? Tell us.

Seattle Met welcomes freelance pitches, project submissions, story suggestions, and questions from readers. We’re open to ideas in a variety of subjects, and we publish print issues on a quarterly basis with a long lead time. (Note that we generally do not publish pre-written articles.)

2027 Freelance Pitches

Seattle Met magazine is seeking pitches from writers for all our 2027 issues. We work with freelance writers for all of our features and departments, but for the upcoming issues are particularly interested in stories that delve into Seattle’s arts and culture, style, tech scene, politics, and urban life.

Stories should be smart, intriguing, and help our readers better understand and experience the city. We’re looking for a point of view and original thought buoyed by diligent reporting. Consult our print magazine and website for examples of the work we publish—we’re looking for fascinating people, burning questions, or a local angle on national issues.

We are also looking for longform ideas from experienced writers. See here and here for examples of our longer features. Please include links to past freelance writing work.

How to submit: Send brief pitches, including a suggested headline for the story you’re proposing, to pitches@seattlemet.com. We publish independently reported pieces of journalism and do not accept stories researched or written with AI.

Regular Columns and Submissions

What are the health, nutrition, and fitness questions you want answered by local experts? Know of a property that would be perfect for our real estate column? Tell us about stories that would fit our Well Well Well health series or Property Watch home series.

For upcoming events to be considered for Seattle Met’s weekly Things to Do in Seattle roundup, include “Things to Do” in the email subject line so we can best direct it to our events writer.

How to submit for all sections: Send questions and ideas to letters@seattlemet.com.
