Pitches wanted (American design, homes) | $1+ per word

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: DWELL

Deadline: 31 July 2023 (for 'American Design' issue)

Our print magazine comes out six times a year. If you have a story that you think would be particularly suited for an issue’s theme, note that print schedules require a long lead time, so please reach out at least three months in advance—issues go live the first few weeks of each month they’re pegged for. The themes for 2023 are:

• September/October: Dwell 24, our annual celebration of the best up and coming designers working today
• November/December: American Design

Dwell promotes good design for everyone. We publish home tours, reported pieces, interviews, and essays, all focused on the power of smart design and new ideas about where and how we live. To give us the scoop on a new project, pitch an original idea, or simply say hello, get in touch at edit@dwell.com. We’re always looking for new voices and perspectives from writers, photographers, illustrators, and videographers. Browse our latest stories to see our full range of topics.

For written pieces, our rates start at $1 for print and increase with the complexity of the story and amount of reporting required. More details here: https://www.dwell.com/article/how-to-submit-to-dwell-397833aa
