Become a Writer
Have a question that keeps you up at night? A topic you can't stop thinking about? We want to hear from you.
Our Process
1. Choose Your Question: Browse our question bank or propose your own. The best questions are specific enough to answer in 1-2 pages but complex enough to require interdisciplinary thinking.
2. Develop Your Analysis: Craft an article that incorporates at least one of three lenses: policy, economics, and philosophy. Use real examples, cite credible sources, and build a clear argument.
3. Submit & Revise: Submit your draft through our online form. Our editorial team made up of other high school student writers from different schools will provide feedback to strengthen your argument and clarity.
4. Get Published: Once approved, your article goes live on our website with your byline. Share it with colleges, use it in applications, or simply enjoy seeing your ideas in print.
