We commission most of our essays, but we read everything sent to us. Send a proposal — two or three paragraphs describing your idea — to editors@blancseing.com. Tell us what you see that others don't, and how you know it.
What we look for
Essays of 2,500 to 4,000 words on the mechanics of international business and geopolitics: how sanctions actually clear, what a sovereign mandate actually says, why the smelter got built where it did. First-hand knowledge beats synthesis; a well-chosen document beats both. We prize writers who can carry an argument without leaning on jargon or the news cycle.
Terms
We respond to every serious proposal within one week. Contributors retain copyright; we take first serial rights in print and online. We do not accept previously published work or AI-assisted drafts, and we make a habit of checking.
