A country almanac for making room to enjoy your time.

Grand Leisure Journal

Write for us

Grand Leisure Journal welcomes thoughtful proposals about countryside pastimes, gatherings, garden visits and seasonal ways to spend free time. Send pitches through the Contact page rather than submitting a finished piece unsolicited.

What makes a good pitch

Tell us the central idea, who might enjoy it and what makes the subject worth a closer look. A strong proposal has a clear angle, a useful shape and room for careful writing, rather than a broad promise to cover everything about a pastime.

Subjects and approach

We are interested in evergreen pieces that explain, compare or help readers plan a leisure activity without relying on claims of personal testing. Keep advice within ordinary, low-risk choices and make any local or seasonal limits clear.

Sending a proposal

Use the Contact page and select the editorial option. Include a working title, a short summary and any relevant context about the proposed piece. A proposal is not a guarantee of publication, and we may discuss its scope before deciding whether it fits.
