We accept commissions for
articles and reports on almost any aspect of the future, from short informal
magazine pieces to formal consultancy reports of any length. Our futurologist
Ian Pearson writes for companies, government departments and NGOs, as well as
professional journals, newspapers, magazines and the web. He covers most
aspects of the future and his papers have won numerous
awards, but also collaborates regularly with other futurologists to
cover a broader field. We will be happy to discuss prices and availability
without commitment.
Contact
us for more information.
Our commercial
commissions are not reproduced on this site, though we have posted links
to appropriate sites where the clients have chosen to upload them. You will
also find hundreds of free articles covering many aspects of the future.
Although they are free to download for your personal use, you must ask
permission before reproducing or distributing them in any form.
Articles from this site may not
be reproduced on any other site (with a very few exceptions where other
agencies own the copyright), but we are aware that some sites such as e-book
collections are stealing and using them to draw traffic to their own sites. If
you find copies on other sites such as e-book sites, they have almost certainly
been stolen and you should not trust the site you found them on – they may
include viruses or spyware. Please also ignore any conditions they include for
further use or reproduction such as commons licenses. No agency except
Futurizon has any authority to authorise any use of our material, the copyright
of which remains with Futurizon. Where we reproduce material owned by others,
we explicitly say so.
APOLOGY: Occasional
formatting problems may occur with some browsers. If an article doesn’t load
