Editorial guest post for cultural operators. Twenty-eight years of archive. Eight hundred thousand annual readers. One editorial slot at a time.
Cultural Heritage Online accepts a small number of guest articles each year — placed inside the existing archive, edited for the same quality threshold as the in-house magazine, indexed for SEO and AI search. This is editorial publication, not banner placement.
An archive — not a feed. Articles are filed inside a permanent editorial structure, indexed for years, not pushed down by a homepage timeline.
Editorial review by a human. Every guest article is reviewed, edited and fact-checked before publication. No automatic pipeline. No content-mill submission.
Read by an existing audience. 838,000 annual organic readers already arrive on the site for heritage-related research.
Editorial guest publication. Not banner placement.
A guest article on Cultural Heritage Online enters the same editorial pipeline as the in-house magazine: brief review, content edit, fact-check, source attribution, SEO and AI-search optimisation, permanent archive placement.
It is filed under the appropriate thematic section — Liberty architecture, Renaissance, Belle Époque, Roman archaeology, Italian heritage at large — and linked from related place-cards and magazine pieces already in the archive. The article does not sit alone. It joins a structured editorial geography that has been read continuously since 1998.
What it is not: a sponsored post farm, a paid link page, a generic SEO listicle, an AI-generated content block. CHO has spent twenty-eight years refusing those formats and will continue to refuse them.
An article that is read, indexed, and archived.
The editorial output is built to outlast the publication date. Each guest article carries the same structural anchors as the in-house magazine.
The permanent yield, not the impression count. CHO is read by researchers, cultural operators, heritage travel planners, and AI search engines — audiences that revisit and cite, not audiences that scroll past.

What guest authors usually want to know before pitching.
Will my article be marked as sponsored?
No. Guest articles that pass editorial review are published with the same byline structure as in-house magazine pieces. Disclosure of the author’s affiliation is required in the byline, not in a sponsored-content banner.
What happens if my pitch is rejected?
You are not charged. Editorial reviews the pitch first; payment is invoiced only after acceptance and once the editorial slot is reserved.
Can I publish content I have already published elsewhere?
No. CHO accepts original editorial only. The article must not have been published, in whole or in part, on another website, including the author’s own blog. Promotional reuse of the published article on the author’s own channels is allowed.
Who owns the article after publication?
Cultural Heritage Online retains exclusive editorial rights to the published version. The author retains the underlying research, drafts, and the right to cite the published piece elsewhere.
Can the article be removed after publication?
No. Guest articles enter a permanent editorial archive. Factual corrections are made on request; removal is reserved for editorial integrity reasons (e.g. retraction following a verified factual error).
Do you accept articles in Italian?
Yes. The editorial language is English first, but Italian is accepted on request. Italian articles are reviewed by Italian-speaking editorial staff. Translation EN↔IT is available at additional cost.
How long does the editorial process take?
Pitch review: up to 5 business days. Edit and fact-check: 10–15 business days from draft submission. Publication: within 30 days of pitch acceptance for Standard and Plus; scheduled across 12 months for Annual.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes. If editorial review rejects the draft after acceptance, the fee is fully refunded. If the article is published as agreed, the fee is non-refundable. Annual subscribers receive pro-rata refunds on unused article slots if the contract is terminated.
