The Pacific Council Magazine welcomes thoughtful, high-quality writing submissions from its members and offers readers insightful analysis on a wide range of international policy and global affairs topics.

Our audience includes policymakers, business executives, and international policy subject matter experts who use our magazine to deepen their understanding of global affairs and gain fresh insights into the challenges and changes shaping our world. Magazine pieces are shared with our network of members via our magazine and our bi-weekly newsletter, Pacific Council Dispatch. The views and opinions expressed in our Magazine are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the Pacific Council as an organization. 

To submit a piece for our magazine, please send us a 100-word summary of your proposed article for internal review by emailing engage@pacificcouncil.org with the subject line, “Magazine Submission — [Your Name]." 

Please review our guidelines before sending:

• Articles must be between 500 and 1200 words in length and must not serve as self-promotion or advertisement of the author's personal business, services, or ventures.
• Sources must be hyperlinked within the article, not footnotes or in-text citations.
• Offensive language is not permitted in articles. 
• Priority will be given to articles that focus on recent events/policies.
• If you are interested in writing a longer research paper or report, please note this in your proposal summary. The same review process applies.
• Note that all submissions will undergo internal review and may include editorial suggestions.
• If you have an article that is published elsewhere and would like to republish it with the Pacific Council, please note this in your proposal summary with a link to the existing publication. All republished articles require submissions to include written permission from the existing publisher.
