Editorial Submissions
Please e-mail queries—not complete manuscripts—to edit@metropolismag.com. Describe your idea and why it would be good for our magazine. Be concise, specific, and clear. Also, please include clips or links to a few of your recent stories. The ideal Metropolis story is based on strong reporting and includes an examination of current critical issues. A design firm’s newest work isn’t a story, but the issues that its work brings to light might be.

From new writers, we are particularly interested in ideas for the Observed section in the front of the magazine. Please familiarize yourself with the section before sending your query. Click here to read past examples of Observed stories.

Editorial Submissions to MetropolisMag.com
We also accept queries for potential stories on Metropolis POV, the magazine’s blog. They can be sent to Susan Szenasy at susans@metropolismag.com. The same guidelines as above apply.

Design Work Submissions
Design professionals: keep us apprised of projects as they are awarded, in progress, and completed. We are especially interested in projects that illustrate innovative design approaches or unconventional responses to typical problems in:

• single-family (though we publish few in this category) and multi-family interiors and exteriors
• public work, such as schools and health facilities
• graphic design
• product design
• commercial work

E-mail project information to edit@metropolismag.com. Please be sure to include a detailed description or press release, the project completion date, and low-res images as attachments. We will contact you if we need more information or high-res images for publication.
