WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

I’m after sparky news features mainly, which are around the 500 word mark, but longer features of up to 800 words would be considered. We also have the quarterly print magazine, of course, which has a bigger budget. I will share suitable pitches with the editor.

  • Write a short introduction about yourself
  • Include a paragraph highlighting your writing experience, relevant credentials and publication credits
  • Attach links to your strongest work or portfolio, and online profile.
