Your story has a home here

We are always looking for well-written, thoughtful stories about Nepal — from writers who know the place, know their subject, and take the craft seriously. We pay for every piece we publish.

What we're looking for

01

Long-form only

Stories between 1,500 and 5,000 words. We don't publish listicles, roundups, or travel diaries.

02

Nepal-rooted

Stories set in Nepal, about Nepali people or communities, or written by Nepali voices — wherever they are.

03

Reported or personal

We welcome reported journalism, memoir, essay, and photo essay — but every piece needs a point of view.

04

Original work only

Pitches must be for unpublished work. We do not accept pieces already published elsewhere online or in print.
