Article Submission Guidelines

Want to Write for Us?

The Wisconsin Magazine of History welcomes submissions that bring new research and perspectives to the history of Wisconsin and the Great Lakes region. Our process is highly selective. We expect articles to be well-researched and compelling, with appeal to a broad audience. Narrative is encouraged. In addition to feature-length articles of 4,000 to 5,000 words, we publish short pieces of 800 to 1500 words on a variety of topics as well as short memoirs.

Your best guide to what we publish is the magazine itself. We encourage you to look at back issues in our online archive.
