Submissions

We take pitches and submissions for each issue of the magazine. You can pitch for any issue as long as you are before the deadline date. And we prefer early pitches!

YOur VIEWS

We are looking for first-person articles about your ‘raising boys for gender equality’ journey.

Submissions must be roughly 500 words, or can also take the form of photoessays, illustrations or other visual forms.

PiTCHES

We will also accept relevant longer form article pitches for these issues. We will consider pitches from relevant child-focused businesses too. We are particularly interested in gender equality of course, but will also be glad to look at pitches on all aspects of equality.

The themes for 2025 are:

Spring issue 27: Books and boys

PITCH DEADLINE Jan 13

I’m looking for pitches on books, reading and where we see the gender divides. I’m interested in biases and brilliance in children’s literature: in school, in subjects, in authors, in illustrations.

Summer issue 28: Health & activity

PITCH DEADLINE: March 10

I’m interested in your pitches on active travel to school, boys and sport and stereotypes, and benefits and pleasures of outdoor play! I am also interested in tweens and social media pressure on body image for boys, from mewing to looksmaxxing.

Autumn issue 29: Romance & Relationship

PITCH DEADLINE: May 18

Looking at good relationships wherever they appear and what great models there are for our sons. I’m interested in the boom in “romance” and wondering where romance is for boys and what that looks like?

We also take pitches that are not on our theme topic, so do try us if you have a burning passion for an article.

While we’d like to, we cannot guarantee to publish all pitches and submissions.

Send us your pitch or submission in via this form or email it as an editable word doc to pitch@sonshinemagazine.com Please use the subject line PITCH - and if relevant the issue you’re pitching for.

We pay £25 for Your Views submissions of 300-500 words, and up to £80 for around 1000 words researched and reported articles. Longer articles are negotiated fees. We don't pay for articles that promote your business.

Look forward to hearing from you!
