Publish a forecast

Our editors encourage unique writing styles and unique perspectives or interpretations of future trends and their impact on the world.

Help readers follow your forecast easily by following this simple formula:

• Explain the current state of the topic you are focusing on (subject);
• Explain influencing force that is colliding with this topic (emerging trend);
• Predict how this influencing force might shape the future of the topic (forecast);
• Ask the reader for their impressions of your forecast (community engagement).

If your forecast is set to happen between the current date and six months from now, then it’s considered “old news” as far as Quantumrun is concerned. Please only submit content that forecasts trends and events that will impact a profession, sector, country, or the world, over a longer-term horizon; i.e. 6-12 months, one to five years, 10 to 20 years, etc.

No predictions about political election results or quarterly stock price predictions of a particular company or bets on a specific sports team’s performance. There are lots of other websites that specialize in those kinds of specialized near-term forecasts; at Quantumrun, we prefer longer-term forecasts that cover larger themes.

Minimum 400-600 words long.

If you mention any specific fact, figure, statistic, or direct quote, please add a hyperlink to where these points were sourced.

Our editors will only help cite your forecasts if you include all your sources in the references section of the editor form below. But to improve your odds of being published, try first to paraphrase or summarize their points from other websites/authors (MLA style is fine). Use quotation marks when copying entire sentences or paragraphs (tips here).

We accept forecasts first published in other websites as long as (1) you are the original author of that forecast, (2) you have the right to republish your work, and (3) you give us the right to permanently republish your work on Quantumrun.com.

Please read our content policy (tread here) to be clear about the type of language and content we do not encourage or permit on this platform.
