Manuscripts ranging from 1500 to 5000 words are encouraged for submission, while freelance daily reporting stories covering lifestyle, health, opinion, culture, and arts for all issues are also accepted. Interested contributors are invited to send pitches or full scripts to [email protected]. Pitch submissions should consist of a concise 100-word or less overview, articulating a clear argument or analysis on a current, ongoing, or evergreen topic relevant to our readers.
Prospective contributors are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the Joy Nepal website, its covered subjects, and previously published content on the chosen topic. Successful submissions will reflect the writer’s ability to convey newsworthy stories accurately and authoritatively. Simultaneous submissions must be disclosed in the email, and accepted scripts or pitches will be exclusive to Joy Nepal.
Joy Nepal does not consider submissions that have been previously published elsewhere, though fully written submissions may be evaluated for publication by the editors. All stories, literature, analyses, or articles must adhere to journalistic principles and comply with Nepal’s legal and regulatory standards. The journal values bold perspectives on lifestyle matters and subjects all submissions to a rigorous fact-checking process.
Joy Nepal’s feature editors review each submission to ensure it aligns with editorial guidelines. Content that does not fit within the editorial scope may prompt communication with the submitter for additional information or suggested revisions. The journal does not publish content promoting personal agendas, or that is libelous or slanderous. Content that may be deemed inappropriate, objectionable, or fraudulent may be removed or edited without prior notice.
The viewpoints expressed in content published on Joy Nepal are solely those of the authors. Submissions to the Features section must include original reporting adhering to the highest journalistic principles—being newsworthy, balanced, well-sourced, and in the public interest. Pitch submissions to Joy Nepal should include a subject line with [PITCH], a concise headline, a two-paragraph summary of the proposed write-up, indication of the section (Analysis, Opinion, or Features), details on obtained or intended information, and the original and newsworthy perspective the contributor brings.
All pitches should be included in the body of the email, without attachments, and accompanied by a brief biography and links to samples of published writing.
