The Editorial Board of The New Federalist primarily publish articles from our team of around twenty regular contributors. They come from across Europe and the rest of the world, with backgrounds in all different areas inside of politics and other sectors. Although we are a volunteer-based organisation, we have a large following and readership which will be able to give you experience and the training necessary to begin a career in journalism. We hire new writers (including those focussing on translations) periodically to ensure that we are maintaining the quality and quantity of reporting that people have come to expect from us. We are not currently receiving applications.
We occasionally accept guest submissions. To do so, email a pitch of no more than 200 words to tnf at jef.eu, outlining your background, what you wish to write about, and why you believe it is relevant to one of our sections. Articles that are sent before a pitch has been approved will not be published, even if you have been published in the past. If your pitch is approved, try to follow our writer’s guidelines which are outlined for you below:
- Short, clear sentences and paragraphs that do not go beyond more than around ten lines of size 11 Arial font on an A4 page.
- An engaging, provocative title and sign-posting of the different parts of your argument with sub-headings throughout the text.
- Around 800 words, which would have traditionally fit two sides of a print magazine, remains a good target for ensuring an argument is concise (if agreed beforehand, you could be given a longer feature).
- Good spelling, punctuation, and grammar is always important, even if it means simplifying the language you use, but do not ever use AI to proofread.
- Sources should only be provided if it is information that cannot easily be found online (done via a hyperlink, not at the end of the text like in academic writing).
- Do not summarise what you have written in your closing paragraph(s) - discuss your conclusions and what they mean for wider debates.
- Provide an image of yourself and a small paragraph about your background to accompany the text.
