In Development is “a new magazine dedicated to exploring how progress happens — or doesn’t happen — in the developing world.” Their readers include policymakers, researchers, and practitioners in development. They’re commissioning 2,000–4,000-word pieces. They’re especially interested in:

- “Unexpected success stories: projects, entrepreneurs, or policies driving real change.”

- “Unexpected failures: what can we learn from development projects that didn’t work?”

- “Technological innovation: AI, energy, urban planning, or health breakthroughs in low- and middle-income countries.”

- “Institutional and policy experiments: from land titling to regulatory reform.”

- “Unusual empirical insights – we welcome all your graphs, charts, and cost-effectiveness analyses!”

They accept pitches on a rolling basis, but review them at specific times. They will next review pitches starting July 1, 2026. Rate is $2,000. To learn more, refer to this page.
