Write For The Militarist

We publish pieces that make a clear argument, are grounded in specific knowledge or evidence, and say something that isn’t already being said elsewhere. We are not interested in general overviews, press release summaries, or pieces that reach no conclusion.

The best contributions come from people with direct knowledge — serving or retired military officers, defence engineers, researchers, procurement professionals, and policy experts who have something specific and important to say.

We fact-check everything. We will push back on claims that are not supported by evidence. We edit for clarity and concision — expect your draft to be tightened. We do not publish pieces that are promotional, politically partisan, or designed to advance a specific contractor or institutional interest.

We publish contributions under author names, pen names, or anonymously depending on contributor preference. We understand that many people with the most valuable knowledge to share cannot attach their name to it publicly. We protect source and contributor identities rigorously.

Send drafts as Google Docs or Word documents. Include a one-line bio and your preferred byline or anonymity preference.
