Because we strive to publish the best version of writing — work that offers depth, meaningful historical perspective, or relevant theoretical frameworks  — our editing process is very thorough and our writing process highly collaborative. 

We ask that you pitch us only if you have the time, flexibility, and patience to work closely with our editors as we refine your piece to its strongest possible form. 

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS (March 2026)

The Public Source invites writers from Lebanon, Palestine, and across the Global South to submit pitches and full-length drafts, in English or Arabic, on the latest escalation of the ongoing imperial war on our region. 

With the Zionist attempt to invade south Lebanon now underway, we are at an existential crossroads against occupation, normalization, and imperial scheming on our land. Presently, we are only accepting works that chronicle, analyze, document, or contextualize the current U.S.-Israeli aggression, waged with the complicity of Arab vassals and the military endorsement of Western states — from the standpoint of our joint struggle from Palestine to Iran.

We are looking for rigorous, well-sourced work — journalistic, historical, or investigative — that is grounded in anti-imperialist and anti-colonial commitments on Lebanon and the region. We are also interested in photo essays, testimonies, and interviews that allow us to make sense of this moment.

Please refer to our submission guidelines before submitting, and include a short bio with your pitch.

Published work is compensated.

The Public Source is currently closed for submissions on topics unrelated to the ongoing war.
