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.
Article Submission
Providing us with complete and detailed information about your article will enhance our ability to evaluate it in a timely and thoughtful manner. You can enter your information in the online form here, or download the submission template and submit it by email, along with your article.
In order to be considered, we require fully written articles. If you are a professional writer or historian, we accept pitches.
WHS Press Book Submissions
Wisconsin Historical Society Press publishes books that bring Wisconsin’s history, people, and ideas to life for a wide audience. We’re looking for compelling narratives, fresh perspectives on familiar topics, and stories that connect our region to the broader national and global stage.
