Editorial Feedback & Corrections
If you believe we have made a factual error, misrepresented a source or missed important evidence, tell us.
Please include:
- the article or page concerned;
- the specific passage;
- what you believe is incorrect;
- a reliable source supporting the correction, where possible.
We take factual corrections seriously.
A strong argument should survive better evidence. If it does not, the argument changes.

Partnership Enquiries
We are open to selected partnerships with organisations, publishers, experts, media outlets, researchers and brands that fit the subject matter and standards of Modern Machiavelli.
Potential partnerships may include:
- editorial collaborations;
- research projects;
- interviews and expert exchanges;
- book and publishing collaborations;
- media partnerships;
- events and speaking opportunities;
- strategic content projects;
- selected commercial partnerships.
We are interested in partnerships that create genuine value for our readers and strengthen the quality or reach of the publication.
We are not interested in disguised advertising, irrelevant link exchanges or mass outreach asking us to insert a commercial link into an unrelated article.
For partnership enquiries, contact:
Please include a short explanation of who you are, what you are proposing and why you believe the partnership fits Modern Machiavelli.
Guest Contributions
Guest articles are different from partnerships.
A guest contribution is an editorial submission. It is judged primarily on the strength of the idea, research and writing—not on whether the contributor represents a company or wants exposure.
We occasionally accept guest articles from writers, researchers and practitioners who have something genuinely useful to add to the archive.
You do not need to imitate the Modern Machiavelli voice perfectly. We can edit style.
What matters considerably more is original thought, sound reasoning, relevant expertise and factual accuracy.
Before submitting, please note:
- You must be the author of the submitted work and have the right to publish it.
- The content must be original and not copied from another publication.
- Historical and factual claims should be supportable with credible sources.
- Personal experience and original research are particularly welcome.
- Relevant links to your own work or profile may be accepted where they genuinely help the reader.
- Articles created primarily to obtain backlinks, promote products or manipulate search rankings will not be published.
- We reserve the right to edit submissions for accuracy, structure, tone, clarity and house style.
- Submission does not guarantee publication.
- Publication rights and terms will be agreed before publication where necessary.
Do not worry if English is not your first language.
We can repair grammar.
It is much harder to repair an article with nothing to say.
If you have an idea, send us a concise pitch before writing several thousand words.

A final Note
You do not need a polished proposal or elaborate introduction.
Tell us who you are, what you want to discuss and why it matters.
For guest posts, lead with the idea.
For partnerships, lead with the proposed collaboration.
For consulting, lead with the problem.
The most useful messages usually contain one of three things: a strong idea, a credible opportunity or a fact we should know.
