Partnerships
Open People Guide considers collaborations that fit an independent publication about customs and shared life, including clearly identified partner placements across the site.
Suitable collaborations
We are open to relevant cultural, educational and publishing collaborations, as well as partner placements that give readers a useful reason to follow a subject further. A proposal should name the intended audience, the material or placement requested and how it fits the publication's subject.
Clear labels
Sponsored or partner material is labelled where readers encounter it. This includes standing partner placements, which remain visibly distinct from editorial recommendations and articles. Payment or collaboration does not buy an editorial conclusion.
Send a proposal
Use the Contact page and choose the partnership option. Include a concise description of the idea, its proposed format and any relevant timing. We review proposals for subject fit and clarity, but do not promise acceptance or coverage.
A custom is a living thing
Practices gather meaning as people share them, and change as life changes. We look for context, variation and the details that make a tradition legible.
