Democracy will review either unsolicited manuscripts or detailed proposals for articles which summarize the intended topic and argument. We are strenuously non-partisan, and we are not interested in discussions of political positioning or electoral strategies for any party. Instead, we seek articles that explain how the world works or how it should work and that offer new ideas and new solutions to contemporary issues from across the progressive spectrum. We look for pieces that are willing to confront big questions and boldly step outside the bounds of conventional wisdom. Articles should be carefully researched and firmly grounded in hard data and deep thinking. For more on Democracy’s mission statement, click here.

Submissions can be sent to dajoi@democracyjournal.org.

Feature articles typically run 4,000 to 6,000 words. Democracy does not accept unsolicited book reviews.
