Most Popular Nonfiction-Only Literary Magazines of All Time

New Scientist

The majority of the news section of New Scientist magazine is written by staffers but we are always on the lookout for exciting freelance pieces. On the other hand, features are mostly written by freelancers.

News stories: When suggesting a story, send us a paragraph or two describing exactly what the story is and why it’s significant. If it’s not obvious, spell out how it is different to what’s been done before. The story has to make us go “wow!” – is it something you’d tell your friends down the pub? The pub test is a good way to assess the interest in a story.

Features: First and foremost, a New Scientist feature is an article that people will love to read. New Scientist is not intended as required reading for professional scientists, as a public service or as an educational tool. Our features are informative, thought-provoking and scrupulously researched, but must also stand alone as entertaining pieces of journalism.
