Write for us

Coastal Policy Review welcomes carefully scoped contributions that help general readers understand how coastal public choices are framed and carried out. Send proposals through the Contact page rather than submitting a full draft first.

What to pitch

Pitch an evergreen question about policy language, decision processes, coastal resources, participation or review. A useful proposal names the reader's question, the main point you would explain and the boundaries of the piece, including what you would not claim.

What makes a strong contribution

Use plain English and a clear line of reasoning. Show the difference between a stated aim, a proposed action and work that has actually been carried out. Avoid unsupported claims, invented cases and advice that depends on local rules or professional judgment.

How to send a proposal

Use the Contact page, choose the editorial option and include a working title, a short outline and a note about relevant sources or experience. A proposal is not a promise of publication; the editors may ask for clarification or revisions.
