We accept pitches through our contact page. Send a short outline of your story, a few sample images if you have them, and the city or neighborhood you plan to cover. Our editors review every submission and respond within two weeks. We prioritize stories about independent studios, local crafts, and creative communities that are rarely covered elsewhere.
Yes, we regularly collaborate with freelance contributors across Indian metros. We look for writers who can capture the texture of a place and photographers who are comfortable with documentary-style storytelling. If you have a portfolio that reflects urban culture or lifestyle reporting, send us a link along with a brief note about the stories you would like to pursue.
Absolutely. City guides are one of our most-read features, and we are always looking for fresh angles on familiar places. Tell us what makes a particular area worth documenting, whether it is a cluster of independent cafés, a street known for handloom textiles, or a community of artists working in an unexpected corner of the city.
We publish a new issue every month, with additional photo essays and interviews appearing between issues. Our newsletter is the best way to know when something new goes live. Subscribers also get early access to selected features and occasional notes from the editorial team about how a story came together.
We keep a clear line between editorial and sponsored work. If you represent a studio, café, or creative space and want to reach our readers, we can discuss a feature that fits our format. Sponsored pieces are always labeled as such and must align with the magazine's focus on urban culture and independent design.
All content on Lokeezi is protected by copyright. If you would like to republish an article or use a photograph, contact us with details about your publication and how you intend to use the material. We are open to collaborations that credit the original creators and respect the context of the work.

A few notes on how Lokeezi works, what our stories cover, and how we handle the details that often get left out of a byline.
We cover urban culture, creative communities, and lifestyle narratives across Indian metros. That means artist interviews, street style features, city guides, home decor inspiration, and long-form photo essays. We do not cover politics, finance, or celebrity gossip, and we keep our editorial calendar independent of advertising.
Every photo essay is shot by a named contributor or licensed from a documented archive. When we use archival images, we credit the original source in the caption. If you spot a missing credit or a caption you believe is inaccurate, email us at info@lokeezi.com and we will correct it within two working days.
Lokeezi is not owned by a media group or a publishing house. Our editorial team decides what gets published, and our revenue comes from reader support and select partnerships that are always labeled as such. Sponsored content is clearly marked and never sits inside an editorial feature without a visible tag.
If a story contains a factual error, we correct it and add a note at the bottom of the piece explaining what changed and when. For time-sensitive guides, such as café roundups or exhibition listings, we review the details every three months and update the page with a revision date.
A Lokeezi city guide reflects what we found on a specific visit. Venues change their hours, menus, and exhibition schedules, so we recommend checking with the place before you travel. We do not accept payment for inclusion in a guide, and we do not guarantee that every spot will still be open when you arrive.
We welcome pitches from writers, photographers, and illustrators who work in or around Indian metros. Send a short outline, three sample images or links, and a note on why the story fits Lokeezi. We reply to every pitch within three weeks, but we cannot offer feedback on rejected ideas.
