Write For Us

Nowtimes is always on the lookout for talented writers, designers, and home experts who can share fresh ideas, practical advice, and inspiring stories with our UK audience.

Who We’re Looking For
We work with experienced writers who know their subject inside out — whether that’s interior design, renovation, gardening, DIY, smart home technology, or product reviews. We particularly value writers with hands-on experience, a clear point of view, and the ability to turn complex topics into genuinely useful, enjoyable reads.

What We Publish
We publish:
– Practical how-to guides and tutorials
– In-depth buying guides and product round-ups
– Trend-led features and inspiration galleries
– Real-home tours and case studies
– Opinion pieces and personal essays from industry experts

Pitching Guidelines
Before you pitch, please spend some time on the Site to get a feel for our tone, depth, and the kind of stories we tell. Then send us a short email with:
– A working title and 100-word summary of the article
– Why you are the right person to write it
– A few links to writing samples or published work
– A rough word count and any relevant imagery you have access to

Where to Send Your Pitch
Email pitches@nowtimes.net with the subject line “Pitch: [working title]”. We aim to respond to all pitches within two weeks.

Compensation
We pay competitive rates for commissioned work, with payment on publication. Rates depend on the brief, length, and complexity of the piece.

What Happens Next
If we like your pitch, we’ll come back to you with a commission, a deadline, and a brief. We’ll pair you with an editor who will support you throughout the writing process. We pride ourselves on being collaborative, fair, and respectful of your time.

Thank you for your interest in writing for Nowtimes.
