Contributors

Write for us

The essays on this site are composite, written by editors. Your contribution is the other kind: real, labeled as yours, and published only if you agree.

What gets published

• A piece, through Share your perspective or the submission guidelines.
• A 15–60 second video, through Respond on camera.
• A one-line side, through Your Take on a Point / Counterpoint.

Consent and age

We feature written lines and videos only from people 18 or older, and only with a yes we can point to. Credit is the name you give. Email david@meliasolar.com to have something taken down.

If you are in crisis

This is a magazine, not a helpline. In the U.S. call or text 988, or see crisis resources.
