Write for us

We welcome pitches from writers with clear, original ideas about leisure and weekends. Proposals should give readers a useful way to choose, understand or enjoy their free time without relying on unsupported claims or specialist access.

What fits

Pitch explainers, comparisons, background pieces, myth checks and occasion-based ideas within our sections: Pace, Pastimes, Outings, Making and Gatherings. A strong proposal has one distinct subject, a clear reader question and a specific central point.

What to include

Use the Contact page to send a short outline, the proposed angle, why it suits Genuine Weekend Guide and any relevant experience or sources. Mention whether the idea has been published elsewhere or proposed to another outlet. A pitch is welcome without a full draft.

Editorial fit

We favour direct, well-structured writing that respects different budgets, abilities, schedules and preferences. Avoid turning a personal preference into a universal rule. Do not send private information about other people or material you do not have permission to share.
