Genuine Concert Guide

Write for us

Genuine Concert Guide welcomes considered pitches about the choices, customs and listening habits that shape live music. A strong contribution gives readers a clear way to notice or decide something without requiring specialist knowledge.

What fits

We are interested in pieces about reading a programme, listening for a particular feature, comparing concert formats, understanding a venue's character or finding a useful way to remember a performance. Choose one question and give it room. The best subjects work across different musical settings and do not depend on a single local rule.

Make the pitch concrete

Send a proposed title, a short summary of the central idea and a note about the practical steps or examples the piece would offer. Explain what makes the subject distinct from existing coverage. We welcome clear, original writing; we do not need a finished article before considering a proposal.

Send a proposal

Use the Contact page and select the editorial option. Include any relevant experience in plain terms, but do not claim credentials or firsthand reporting that the piece does not have. A proposal is not a promise of publication, and material should not be submitted as confidential.

Our point of view

A concert is worth meeting on your own terms.

Genuine Concert Guide offers ways to notice more, not rules for enjoying music. Start with one question, and let the rest of the evening unfold.
