Send a pitch of no more than 400 words describing the story, the evidence or access you have, and why it belongs in Façinations. Include two samples of prior work. We respond to proposals we intend to commission.
Every accepted piece is fact-checked. Contributors should expect to supply sources, contact details for interviewees, and documentation for factual claims. Quotations from published material are cited and kept short; we do not reproduce others' work.
