Submissions Policy

No Latency is an editorial publication focused on long-form analysis of the ideas, systems, and power structures shaping the digital age – across technology, AI, games, software, and the internet.

We welcome thoughtful contributions from writers who bring original perspectives, strong arguments, and a clear point of view.

What we’re looking for

We publish original, long-form articles that explore technology in its broader social, cultural, and economic context. We’re particularly interested in work that:

Examines how technology shapes behaviour, incentives, and power
Goes beyond surface-level trends or news coverage
Is analytical, opinionated, and well-reasoned
Brings clarity to complex or under-examined topics

Typical subject areas include (but are not limited to):

Artificial intelligence and automation
Software platforms and digital infrastructure
Games, virtual economies, and interactive systems
The internet, interfaces, and online culture
Incentives, monetisation, and behavioural design

Preferred length: 1,200–3,000 words
Tone: Intelligent, accessible, and rigorous – not academic, not marketing-led

What we’re not looking for

News reporting or press releases
Marketing, promotional, or SEO-driven content
Sponsored articles or advertorials
Generic trend summaries without original insight
AI-generated content submitted without substantial human authorship and editorial intent

How to submit

We prefer pitches first, though completed drafts are also acceptable.

Please email your submission to peter@nolatency.co

Include:

A brief pitch or summary (2-4 paragraphs is fine), or a link to a draft
Why the piece is a good fit for No Latency
A short author bio (2-3 sentences)

Word documents or Google Docs links are preferred for drafts.

Response time

We aim to respond to submissions within 2–4 weeks.
Due to volume, we may not be able to respond to every submission individually.

Payment

At present, No Latency does not offer payment for unsolicited submissions.
Contributor compensation may be introduced in the future as the publication evolves.

Rights

Authors retain copyright to their work.

By publishing with No Latency, authors grant first publication rights and the right for the article to remain archived on the site.

Final note

No Latency is intentionally selective. We care deeply about quality, originality, and clarity of thought. If you have an idea you think fits – even if it’s slightly unconventional – we’d much rather see it than not.
