Write for us

Lively Match Review welcomes pitches that illuminate matchmaking culture with a distinct idea, thoughtful context and lively prose. We are interested in the customs, choices and conversations around how people meet, not promises of guaranteed matches or one-size-fits-all advice.

What we welcome

Pitch evergreen explanations, comparisons, social histories, careful myth-checks or occasion-based pieces connected to introductions, conversation, compatibility, matchmaking formats or rituals. A strong contribution gives readers a clear subject and a fresh reason to care.

What to include

Send a concise outline with a working title, the central point, the intended reader and the kind of material the piece would use. Explain what makes the idea distinct from coverage already available on the site. Flag any relevant personal, financial or professional interest, and do not send confidential information.

How to propose an idea

Send proposals through the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. A pitch is a proposal, not a commission; please wait for a response before writing a full piece. We cannot promise publication or a response time.
