How to pitch a King Island story

We publish reported notes that a reader could check. If your pitch needs a secret restaurant and a dollar figure, it is not for this desk.

Use the contact form with the topic set to Guest post pitch.

Send:

  1. A working title that is a question or a claim a reader can test.
  2. The official sources you will cite (Council, King Island Tourism, Parks, BOM, AMSA, Biosecurity Tasmania, Discover Tasmania, or a named primary document).
  3. The sentences you will not write — prices, live hours, “world’s best,” medical advice.
  4. Whether you have been on the island, and when. We do not require a visit, but we require you not to fake one.
  5. A two-paragraph sample in your own English. We rewrite dairy-brochure ghosts all day; do not add another.

We will not launder affiliate stay-and-play copy. We will not host a golf-ranking argument that Tourism Tasmania already footnoted. We will not run a recipe that pretends this domain is still a brand site.

If we say yes, the piece lives in the guest-posts Keystatic collection, under our disclaimer, with your byline in the lede if you want one.

What happens after a yes

The piece is edited into the guest-posts Keystatic collection, sits under the same independence footer as everything else, and keeps your sourced sentences. We will add a disclaimer if a reader could mistake your byline for council or official tourism. We will cut prices, live hours and Southern Hemisphere slogans.

What happens after a no

Usually: the outline needed a primary source and had a ranking instead. Sometimes: the island visit was implied and not dated. We will not workshop an advertorial into a visitor guide. You are welcome to pitch again when the citations exist.

Questions people actually ask

Do you pay for guest posts?

Terms are discussed per piece after we see a sourced outline. Do not send a finished advertorial.

What gets rejected immediately?

Invented prices, anonymous rankings, copied tourism copy, and anything that impersonates council or official tourism.
