Vibrant Comedy Guide

Write for us

We welcome pitches that help readers notice how comedy works: a precise question, an original angle and a clear route through the subject matter more than a grand claim about what makes everyone laugh.

What to pitch

Ideas may explore comic writing, character, performance, visual humour or a particular comic form. We are especially interested in evergreen pieces that explain a distinction, trace a convention, examine a common misunderstanding or give readers a fresh way to watch and listen. Keep each proposal focused on one main idea rather than a broad survey.

What makes a strong proposal

Tell us the working title, the central question, why it suits Vibrant Comedy Guide and the main points you would cover. Note the examples or sources you expect to use, and flag any part of the subject that is uncertain or needs careful framing. A short outline is more useful than a finished draft sent without context. Do not claim access, expertise or permissions you do not have.

Sending a proposal

Send proposals through the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. Please include a brief introduction to your idea and any relevant writing samples you would like us to consider. A proposal is not a guarantee of publication; we will assess fit, clarity and the value the piece offers readers.

Our point of view

A laugh can be carefully made

We attend to the choices beneath the surprise: the word that shifts a sentence, the pause that lets a joke breathe, the character who sees a room differently.
