Discovering Polyamory is a publication aimed at providing advice and information for people looking to explore polyamory and ethical non-monogamy. Whether they are beginning their own journey, or they are simply looking to learn more about this way of life, Discovering Polyamory aims to provide the resources they need.

What we publish

We publish articles providing information and advice for those looking to learn more about polyamory, ethical non-monogamy, or any other forms of alternate relationship models. Ideally with a personal touch.

These are primarily aimed at people first discovering ethical non-monogamy, but with an eye to still be useful to those who may have been on their journey for some time.

• Advice on things to expect when starting your journey into non-monogamy
• Warnings and cautionary tales
• How to find resources and communities
• Benefits and pitfalls
• Things someone might not realise or expect
• Recommendations for outside resources (As long as you related a story of how this influenced or improved your personal journey. We’re not looking for simple book reviews)
