Your Masthead Directory: Key Editorial Contacts for Strategic Press Outreach
Welcome to the Masthead Directory, your centralized resource for identifying and connecting with the right editorial and creative teams. This directory is updated regularly to ensure the contact information you access is current—so you can approach outreach with confidence, accuracy, and professionalism.
A masthead isn’t just a list of names. It provides insight into how a publication is structured, who makes editorial decisions, and which contacts are most relevant for your work. Whether you’re pitching a feature, submitting a project, or building long-term editorial relationships, this directory helps you focus your outreach where it matters most.
Next Steps:
Scroll down to access the Press & Submissions section.
Here you’ll find a curated list of publication mastheads, including submission links where available.
If a publication includes a submission link, follow that process.
If no submission link is listed, click on the editor’s name to email them directly.
How to Use the Masthead Directory:
Identify the Right Contacts
Use the directory to pinpoint the individuals responsible for editorial, creative, or content decisions. Understanding who does what ensures your outreach reaches the right person—not a general inbox.
Understand Roles & Publication Structure
Familiarize yourself with the roles listed for each publication. This allows you to tailor your pitch based on whether you’re submitting a design feature, editorial story, or visual project.
Stay Current
This directory is maintained and updated regularly so you’re not relying on outdated or inaccurate contact information. Use this resource as your primary reference for editorial outreach.

Effective pitching is personal. Take time to review each contact’s role and editorial focus before reaching out. Thoughtful, relevant messages are far more likely to receive a response.
Engage Strategically
Use the Masthead Directory to support strategic engagement—whether through email, social platforms, or direct outreach. Strong editorial relationships are built over time, not through one-off messages.
