Write for Open
Anyone can contribute to Open on any subject with a musical tip. You don’t need a string of published writing credits to your name – just an entertaining knack with words, the ability to string a sentence together and a fresh outlook on one of the day’s issues.
Features should be packed with strong opinion and intellectual nourishment or facts and statistics, while reviews should be fair and accurate. Either way, content on Open should be eye-opening. This isn’t a news site, although feel free to use a news story as the basis for a broader article.
All contributions are voluntary, given for the love of music, i.e. you won’t be paid. Submitted articles must be entirely your own work and must not have been published elsewhere.
There’s no limit on what holds someone’s interest, but be realistic with your subject matter and wordcounts, please. Copy will be edited, subbed or sent back to you for the odd tweak or clarification. Some, frankly, will just be printed out and shredded. Sorry. That’s the way it goes. But keep trying.
