Write for us

We welcome pitches about community film screenings that help readers make thoughtful choices with limited resources. Send proposals through the Contact page, with a clear subject and a short explanation of what readers will take away.

What we are looking for

Useful contributions might compare approaches to choosing a film, explain a screening custom, suggest ways to use an existing room or offer a fresh perspective on shared viewing. We favour pieces with a distinct subject, a clear reader in mind and ideas that remain useful beyond one event.

A strong pitch

Tell us the proposed angle, the main point, the intended reader and why the subject fits Local Screen Spotlight. Mention any sources or permissions the piece would rely on. Avoid pitches that require invented anecdotes, unverified claims, product promotion or specialist technical instructions.

How to send it

Use the Contact page and choose the editorial option. A pitch is a proposal, not a promise of publication. Please do not send a complete article unless requested; keep the first message focused enough for us to understand the idea.
