Contribute to Subtext

Subtext is always on the look out for new contributors to fill the pages with exciting ideas, feminist analysis and stimulating opinion.

We want to publish a broad range of articles encompassing cultural attitudes and myths, social trends, political analysis and opinion, current affairs as well as movies, TV, magazines, books and advertising. Profiles of, and interviews with, feminist culture-makers and business owners are welcome. We're also looking for reviews and reviews to contribute to our reviews blog, excerpts of which will appear in the print magazine.

You don't have to be a 'journalist' to contribute to Subtext, just get in touch with your idea.

If you would like to be added to our contributors database, and kept up to date about submission requests and potential assignments, just send us an email contribute@subtextmagazine.co.uk

The contribution deadlines for upcoming issues are as follows:

Issue 7
Issue 8
Issue 9

November 21st 08
TBA

contribute@subtextmagazine.co.uk finished articles and query letters are both welcome.

Written contributions
We're looking for broadly two different types of article, features (up to 2,500 words) and shorter pieces (up to 1,500 words).

Features are generally chunky critiques, essays, or articles on pop culture from a feminist perspective. Interviews, reported pieces, and critical essays are welcome.

Shorter pieces generally consist of columns on film, television, language, politics, publishing etc, in the form of reviews, critical essays, activist profiles, and more.

That's not all - if you've got a great idea for a feature that doesn't fit into what's above get in touch. We're flexible and want to support as many different voices as possible.

Image
Artists, illustrators, cartoonists, photographers! We need people to illustrate articles in the magazine, as well as contribute photo stories. At the moment we're printing in black and white - so any artwork needs to be optimised for black and white printing. Get in touch to discuss artwork submissions with Gill (editor) and Charlotte (art director - who commissions all of our illustration work).

Send your contributions along whenever the mood strikes, or join our
contributors database (for writers and artists) and we'll send you
submissions requests for each issue.
