About the magazine
Submitting your work
Aeon accepts pitches for essays and articles, not finished manuscripts, via its online submission system. Before pitching, read several recent pieces to understand the tone and scope. Pitches should be concise (one to two paragraphs), clearly state the argument or angle, and explain why it matters now. The editors favor original ideas that draw on research or expertise but are written for a general audience. Avoid jargon and overly promotional language. Response times vary; if you do not hear back within two weeks, consider the pitch declined. Payment is competitive for digital long-form, and rights are negotiated individually.
