Submissions
Thanks for your interest in Undark. Please see below for information on how to pitch a story idea to us.
Please bear in mind that Undark’s editors are able to accept only a tiny fraction of the many worthy pitches that come our way. We do appreciate your interest, however, and encourage you to keep trying. We will do our best to respond to each query expeditiously, but we are a very small team and it may take some time for us to get back to you.
We strongly encourage you to visit our What Is Undark Looking For? page to familiarize yourself with our publication and the kinds of stories we like to pursue.

Pitching Undark
Our editorial team meets to consider story pitches once per week, generally on Wednesdays at 11 a.m. EST. If you would like to submit an idea for our publication, please use the form below, keeping our meeting schedule in mind (that is, if you submit an idea on a Wednesday afternoon, it may not get full consideration for another week).
Please affirm below that you have read our policy on the use of AI, after which you can use our online form to submit your idea.
Important: If you have not contributed to Undark before, your proposal must include a brief author bio and clips of, or links to, previously published work.
