Guest Blog

Samara welcomes guest contributions to our blog. If you have news, research or reviews you'd like to share, we encourage you to contact us with your idea.

Editorial guidelines

Submissions can cover a range of topics and take a variety of forms, from research and analysis to book reviews and profiles. If you are interested in writing for the Samara blog, we ask that you send a one-paragraph pitch to fiona.oconnor@samaracanada.com outlining the subject and central argument of your article. In your writing your piece, please consider the following guidelines:

  • Posts must remain non-partisan and clearly relate to the themes of Samara's work.
  • Please note that Samara does not publish articles about policy issues (e.g., environment, healthcare).
  • Posts should focus on a single argument, supported by facts and research.
  • Posts should be 600 words or less.
  • Get creative! Samara encourages submissions including audio, video and/or images.
  • Please include with your post a couple of sentences telling us a bit about yourself.

Please also note that while Samara endeavours to publish as many volunteer submissions as possible, we cannot guarantee that all work will be published.
