Writing Articles

Five Minutes to Midnight's main focus is promoting human rights and international issues through the written word. By writing such articles and publishing them around the world, we spread information and promote awareness on the issues the youth care about.

Articles are usually published in monthly issues, though we do publish in other periodicals, as well as our own books. If you are interested in writing articles, there are two types you can submit.

Research Papers

1000 word, fully sourced articles on issues pertinent to national governments or the international community. Articles can be on anything from corporations to war. Articles should be submitted on the 20th of every month to be considered for the upcoming issue.

If you are interested in writing but do not know what topics to explore, we can help you find something to write about.

Comments

Comments are informal opinion pieces on events happening in the world today. They should have sources, but the guidelines regarding them are much more lenient. The recommended length for a comment is 500 words.

If you are interested in submitting either type of writing, please e-mail us at editor@fiveminutestomidnight.org.
