WIRED is obsessed with what comes next. Through rigorous investigations and game-changing reporting, we tell stories that don’t just reflect the moment—they help create it.

WIRED is obsessed with what comes next. Through rigorous investigations and game-changing reporting, we tell stories that don’t just reflect the moment—they help create it. Part of the Condé Nast portfolio, WIRED leads the conversation on how technology is changing every aspect of our lives—from business and politics to culture and science.

We’re looking to write about products our readers are interested in, which means everything from groundbreaking new tech to novel gadgets they’ve seen all over social media, to products like bed-in-a-box mattresses where it’s difficult for any individual consumer to do proper comparison shopping. Our audience is tech-savvy, so you’ll see lots of coverage of mobile phones, laptops, gaming devices, and the like, but WIRED readers also like to live comfortably and healthfully, score great deals, and often enjoy outdoor recreation.

Most Popular Nonfiction-Only Literary Magazines of All Time

WIRED

The vast majority of the features we publish are narratives. For best results, pitch us a tale you’re going to tell, not a topic you want to explore. What central chronology are you going to reconstruct? Who are your main characters? What scenes are we going to be able to see? You don’t have to know the full narrative arc of your story when you pitch, but you should be able to give some indication that it’s going to be a satisfying one. Also, be able to convey your tale’s larger implication or importance.

WIRED does occasionally publish feature-length essays, but there, too, we’re looking for a focused through line, not just an exploration of a topic. What argument are you making, and what evidence will you muster for it? What’s the core example (or two, or three) that will animate the idea you’re hoping to get across?

For any feature pitch, give us a sentence or two about the sort of work you’ve done, and please include links to other stories, especially long-form narrative pieces.
