Hem & Hemlock welcomes thoughtful pitches about clothing basics and garment care, especially pieces that make a specific skill or choice easier to understand without assuming specialist equipment or knowledge.
Ideas that fit
We consider pitches about fabrics, care labels, washing and storage choices, straightforward mending, wardrobe foundations, and the everyday use of clothes. A strong proposal has a clear reader question, a distinct angle, and enough practical detail to be useful beyond a passing trend.
What to include
Tell us the proposed subject, the central point, who would benefit, and what readers should understand or be able to do afterward. Mention relevant experience with the topic without overstating it, and note any commercial connection that could affect the piece.
Sending a proposal
Send proposals through the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. A pitch is not a guarantee of publication; please wait for a response before sending a complete draft. We do not accept material that disguises advertising as independent editorial.
