Write for Care Camp

We’re always on the lookout for new perspectives and interesting pieces, whether from established authors or first-time writers. If you have an idea for a thought-provoking article that contributes to our goal of promoting high-quality child care programs, do send us your idea at:

write@care.camp

The best way to see whether your idea would fit well in Care Camps is to read other pieces we’ve published.

Please send a short pitch, not a full draft. Good pitches should:

• Add to the conversation. Be original and clearly written.

• Be short. About three concise paragraphs is usually right. 

• Give a feel of the piece you want to write. The pitch should model the style of the proposed article, not promise what you’ll do (“I will argue that…”).

• Please include a short bio of yourself, citing pertinent qualifications and/or why you’re the person to write such a piece. (A sentence or two is sufficient. Feel free to include links to other published material.)
