If you have a question about an article, a pitch for an original piece, or need information about partnerships and permissions, we’re eager to hear from you. The quickest way to reach our editorial and support staff is by email. Please include relevant details so we can route your message to the right person.
How to write
Send a single message to editorial@homespacejournal.org. Use a clear subject line—examples: “Story pitch: [working title],” “Permissions request: [photographer name],” or “Partnership inquiry: [company name].” Attach samples, proposals, or images as needed (PDFs or JPGs preferred).
What to expect after you email
- Acknowledgement: We aim to confirm receipt within 48 business hours.
- Editorial replies: For article pitches or editorial questions, expect a substantive response within 7–10 business days. If a piece requires internal review, scheduling, or follow-up research, we’ll let you know an estimated timeline.
- Permissions and rights: Requests about reuse, licensing, or image credits are typically handled within 5–7 business days depending on complexity.
- Partnerships and advertising: Initial replies usually arrive within one week; more detailed proposals may take longer as they move through our planning team.
What we welcome
HomeSpace Journal focuses on thoughtful, research-backed content about home design, sustainable living, small-space solutions, and the cultural side of domestic life. Messages that match our editorial mission are most likely to receive a timely and detailed response. Examples of welcome inquiries:
- Original article pitches — well-defined ideas, audience fit, and brief author bio or clips.
- Expert sources — architects, interior designers, sustainability researchers, and makers available for interviews.
- Corrections and clarifications — factual errors, citation issues, or updates to published material.
- Permissions and licensing — requests to reuse images or republish excerpts.
- Collaborations and partnerships — proposals for sponsored content, affiliate programs, or co-branded projects.
How to format a submission
When pitching an article, include a brief summary (150–300 words), an outline or section headings, your relevant credentials, and links to prior work. If you’re submitting a full draft, state the intended word count and whether you can provide high-resolution images or custom illustrations.
If you don’t receive a response within the stated timeframe, feel free to follow up at the same address. We review messages in the order received and prioritize inquiries that align with our editorial calendar and audience needs. Thank you for your interest in HomeSpace Journal—we look forward to hearing from you.
