The Guardian's music section does not accept unsolicited submissions for coverage. However, artists and publicists may pitch stories to individual critics or editors via email, but responses are not guaranteed. For news tips, use the appropriate desk contacts. For opinion pieces, submit to the Guardian's opinion editor. Always research the specific writer's interests before pitching. Press releases should be concise and include streaming links, high-res images, and clear contact information. Due to high volume, follow up sparingly.
