Pitch to Us

Where thoughtful storytelling meets aesthetic intelligence

At Curation Edit, we do not chase stories. We curate them.

We are always open to voices that understand that beauty is not surface-level, that design carries memory, and that culture is something to be interpreted, not simply reported.

What We Commission

We currently accept pitches across three editorial formats

Feature Stories (Website)

Slow, immersive, narrative-led

These are our signature pieces.

We are looking for stories that start with an aesthetic but go deeper into meaning.

Your piece should explore:

What is driving this shift or visual language
What it reveals about identity, aspiration, or culture
Why it matters now

We are less interested in what is trending, and more in what it signifies.

Your writing should feel considered, atmospheric, and clear in its point of view. By the end, the reader should not just see something differently, but understand it.

Trend Reportage (Digital & Social)

Sharp, timely, insight-led

This is our fast-format take on what is happening now.

We are looking for culturally relevant ideas with a clear angle.

Your pitch should:

Identify a current shift, moment, or behaviour
Explain why it is gaining attention
Offer a strong point of view

We are not looking for summaries. We are looking for interpretation.

Keep it concise, but make it meaningful.

Films & Short-Form Video (Instagram & Website)

Visual, intentional, narrative-driven

We commission short films and video content that feel considered, not reactive.

This can include:

Short aesthetic films
Visual essays
Concept-led reels

Your idea should:

Have a clear concept or mood
Show a distinct visual sensibility
Carry an emotional or narrative thread

We are not looking for trend-led content. We are looking for visual storytelling with intention.

Our Language & Sensibility

Curation Edit is defined by how it speaks.

We favour work that is:

Descriptive and immersive
Insightful and thought-provoking
Sophisticated but approachable
Intentional and curated

We gravitate towards words like palette, texture, silhouette, narrative, craftsmanship, sensibility.

We avoid generic, overused language.

What to Include in Your Pitch

Clarity matters. Keep your pitch focused and intentional.

For Writing (Feature or Trend):

A clear idea or angle
Why it matters now
Your point of view or approach
Links to relevant work

For Film / Video:

A short concept or treatment
The intended format (Reel, short film, visual essay)
Visual references or mood direction (if available)
Links to previous work

We are not looking for fully written pieces. A strong idea is enough

Editorial Guidelines

We prioritise original thinking over repetition
Every piece must have a clear point of view
Writing should feel like a narrative, not a report
Visual work should be considered, not reactive
All submissions must reflect cultural depth and aesthetic clarity

What We Don’t Publish

Surface-level trend summaries
PR-led or promotional content
Generic lifestyle pieces
Work that lacks a clear perspective

If the idea does not offer depth, intention, or insight, it is not right for Curation Edit.

Payment

All accepted pitches are paid.

We believe thoughtful work deserves fair compensation and aim to build long-term relationships with our contributors.
