Publish with The Galactic Inquirer

We welcome non-technical articles, commentaries, profiles, and photo-essays that are well-crafted and engaging.

Submissions should be in Word 97-2003 (.doc) or later formats (.docx), and should contain from 500 to 2000 words. The latter requirement is to ensure that The Galactic Inquirer is much more than an aggregator of word “bites.” All photos and figures should include captions, credits, and associated permissions. Any references at the end of a contribution should help the general-interest reader make greater sense of the subject at hand. Articles in Scientific American and American Scientist can provide a helpful template for formatting your submission.

You can contact us through the Contact Form available in the main menu. Submissions should be e-mailed to us here. Content submissions should include the names and e-mail addresses of all authors along with a picture of the author(s). The author(s) should state their status as a student or professional as part of a 1-3 sentence biography.

All contributions will be vetted for appropriate content and edited for clarity. All contributions that are published in The Galactic Inquirer are the property of the author(s) and The Galactic Inquirer. Therefore, subsequent use of published contributions must follow “fair use” guidelines, including written permission from the author(s) and explicit attribution to the author(s) and The Galactic Inquirer.
