Why Partner With Us?
New World is a journal with the goal of creating a platform for writers, artists, brands, and other contributors to celebrate adventure, inquire into the human relationship with the world, and consider what it means to be alive. We aspire to the same tradition as Joseph Conrad, Jack London, and Rudyard Kipling.
For brands seeking to present their products through their mythic legacy, promote products and services that give their customers access to the world in ways they otherwise could not, or create products intended to make an impact over generations, New World can be an ideal partner.
We love brands that inspire and enable their customers to go out into the world in search of discovery, inquiry, and competence.

Audience
New World is for readers interested in literature, travel, exploration, history, outdoor culture, anthropology and ethnography, geography, science, and philosophy. Its readership is oriented toward discovery: people who value firsthand experience, serious research, historical and scientific accuracy, and thoughtful engagement with unfamiliar places and cultures.
Editorially, New World continues a tradition associated with writers who use place, travel, experience, and research to investigate larger questions of human life.
What We Look For in Advertising Partners
- Products and services that grant access to discovery by expanding the customer's range of experience in the world.
- Products that support a practice or vocation and develop competence through use.
- Products meant to be used, and that become more meaningful through use.
- Experiences that go beyond ordinary tourism or consumerism.
- New World is about storytelling: we favor advertisers that create doorways into larger worlds.
Creative Direction
We favor advertising with a documentary, environmental, or expeditionary quality. Show products being used in the worlds they provide access to. A camera around a climber's neck in the field is more interesting to our readers than one photographed against a studio backdrop.
We encourage restrained typography and advertisements that allow images, objects, and symbols to speak. Let the product become a symbol of the larger life it enables.
We do not accept AI-generated imagery or copy in advertisements.
We recommend advertisers examine our photography/illustration editorial vision before contacting us about brand deals. You can find it here: For Artists.

FAQ
Where does advertising revenue go?
New World does not need advertising to exist, but revenue from advertising partners allows us to invest further in the quality of each volume. Advertising revenue can support upgraded papers and cover materials, larger-format reproduction of photography and illustration, higher contributor honorariums, and improved packaging and fulfillment. With ideal advertising revenue, we can produce quarterly volumes that feel like real manuscripts or explorer journals. Our goal is to make each volume a physical object worth owning, keeping, and passing down.
Which volumes do my ads appear in?
Ad purchases will be present in all first-edition printings of the agreed-upon volume. Appearance in reprints is subject to negotiation. Please contact us to discuss advertising placement.
Do you provide complimentary copies to advertisers?
Each advertiser may receive one complimentary copy of the volume upon request. Additional copies can be arranged.
Where is New World's readership based?
New World is an English-language journal intended for an international readership, with an initial focus on the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. We ship worldwide and welcome international brands that market at least in part to English-speaking customers.
Does advertising affect editorial coverage?
