About

Who we are: A nonprofit, independent media organization dedicated to telling stories of climate solutions and a just future.

What we’re looking for: For a long time, climate change was seen strictly as a science story. But at Grist, we’ve spent years trying to break that narrative. Our reporting works to convey that climate and environmental stories are economic, culture, justice, politics, health, business, and yes, even solutions stories.

We are particularly interested in magazine-style investigative and narrative features that make a difference — reporting that can sway public opinion and shape policy, expose injustice and hold wrongdoers accountable, and inspire readers to demand and take action.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
