Podcast

How do you select guests for the podcast?

We regularly offer those who submit to the journal a space on the podcast. This is to ensure that they are given the maximum opportunity to have a discussion about their work, how they developed it, and anything else. This is to give individuals who want to discover minority writers an ability to engage with their content in many different forms.

Alternatively, if you are an experienced professional who wants to give a nuanced perspective, we would love to hear from you via the contact us form on the website.

Why are episodes so varied in length?

We believe in giving our individual writers the amount of time they need to shine in conversation and also is determined by the level of complexity of the topic in question.

Education

How many hours do I need to commit to the course?

All our courses are self-led, but we recommend around an hour (involving creative writing practice) per week (excluding workshops). Students have up to six months to submit their initial assessment and need a check-in point with a tutor before their final submission to provide feedback.

What About Assessment?

Students are provided with an assessment booklet at the start of our courses. They use this to develop their final assessment through weekly exercises and practice their writing craft. There are no exams.

What about Progression?

Students progress from free workshop sessions (on our events page) to various paid courses. We then endeavour to allow students to volunteer in the magazine, and those who are suitably qualified to help with our education and community engagement. Once the organisation grows, there may be space for students to progress into other qualifications with us.

I’ve got a course idea! Where can I recommend it?

Students can suggest the course to staff members or fill out a contact form. If students want to teach a session, this may be facilitated. If students wish to become teachers of the courses, then experience (such as leading a session) must be demonstrated first, with the relevant qualifications.

Magazine

What do I need to submit?

To submit to the journal or press, you will need the title of your piece, a two-line summary, and to format the piece according to the submission guidelines. Failure to follow them, or confirmed use of AI, will result in your work not being considered. If you need additional considerations, please contact us.

Can I put my work in other places?

As the copyright holder of the original work, you have a great deal of flexibility after the issue is published. We only have the right to archive, which means you can distribute your work in numerous places. Depending on other journals, you can even submit it elsewhere and share it on your blog. The choice is yours.

If you choose to submit to the press, we will have the rights to publish. However, we will discuss how the royalties are divided. This means you can explore other projects and opportunities, but we will have the publication rights. You can rest assured that we will have a clear and fair discussion about the division of royalties.

What rights do you need?

We only need the rights to archive and publish for the journal. We need the rights to publish and print your work for the press. You retain the copyright to your work.

Who do I contact if I need help with my submission?
