Write For Us: Amplify Your Voice
At The Addis Connexion (ACX), we believe that the most powerful stories come from the people living them. We are constantly seeking fresh perspectives, deep expertise, and unique voices to enrich our platform. Whether you are a journalist, an academic, a tech entrepreneur, an artist, or simply an observer with a keen eye for detail, we invite you to contribute to our growing community.
We are not looking for generic press releases or AI-generated filler. We want human stories. We want analysis that bites, cultural critiques that inspire, and reports that inform. Our readers are smart, engaged, and global—they deserve content that respects their intelligence. If you have a story to tell about Ethiopia, the Horn of Africa, or the diaspora experience, we want to hear it.
What We Are Looking For
Our editorial interests are broad, reflecting the complexity of Ethiopia itself. We welcome pitches in the following categories:
- Politics & Policy: In-depth analysis of local and regional political developments, policy impacts, and diplomatic relations.
- Business & Economy: Market trends, startup profiles, investment opportunities, and economic forecasts.
- Tech & Innovation: Stories from Sheba Valley, digital transformation, fintech, and agritech solutions.
- Culture & Arts: Reviews of music, film, literature, and art exhibitions. Essays on tradition, modernity, and identity.
- Diaspora Perspectives: Personal essays and op-eds about the experience of living between two worlds.
Submission Guidelines
To ensure your pitch gets the attention it deserves, please keep the following in mind:
- Originality: We only accept unpublished work. Please do not send pieces that are currently under consideration elsewhere.
- Length: Most of our articles range between 800 and 1,200 words. However, we are open to longer deep-dives if the topic warrants it.
- Tone: Our tone is professional yet accessible. Avoid overly academic jargon unless necessary, and always aim for clarity and engagement.
- Facts Matter: All claims must be backed by reliable sources. We fact-check rigorously, so please provide links or references where applicable.
