Write for us

We welcome thoughtful pitches about the architecture, printed matter, customs, collections and shared experiences around cinema. A strong proposal finds one specific subject and gives readers a fresh way to notice it.

What makes a good pitch

Tell us the central question, the angle you would take and why the subject suits Stellar Cinema Journal. A narrow, well-shaped idea is more useful than a broad overview. Explain what a reader could understand or notice after reading, and mention the kinds of sources or examples you expect to draw on.

The writing we seek

We value accurate, original work in a calm, attentive voice. Pitches may explore cinema spaces, filmgoing customs, printed ephemera, collecting or exhibition culture, but should not duplicate material already planned. Be open about uncertainties, avoid unsupported claims and distinguish personal reflection from verifiable detail.

Sending a proposal
