The Waterline welcomes considered pitches about aquariums and fishkeeping, including tank planning, water, equipment, plants, and fish behavior. A useful contribution explains a specific subject without pretending one setup fits every tank.
What makes a good pitch
Send a short outline of the subject, the reader it would help, and the practical question the piece would answer. Tell us what makes the angle distinct from a general overview, and note any sources, images, or specialist input the idea would require. Do not send a finished article unless we have agreed on it.
A careful approach
We are interested in accurate, original work that explains its terms, separates observation from assumption, and states when advice depends on species or tank conditions. Avoid unsupported promises, copied material, and recommendations presented as universal fixes.
Where to send it
Send proposals through the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. Include a working title and outline in your message. A pitch is a proposal, not a guarantee of publication, and we may discuss changes before commissioning work.
