It is essential that as writers we are able to share opinions and provide positive guidance and support for other creatives. After all, writers supply not just entertainment but also information and education and are at the heart of how we record our culture. There’s nothing like enjoying laughter, sadness, anger and love whilst reading.
To populate our Write On! Features, magazine Deputy Editor Claire Buss continues to welcome features, opinions and essays from the writing community. The only requirement is that submissions are on the topic of writing in some way! Features should be between 1000-1500 words. Please also submit any images you have permission to use and that illustrate your work. Write On! Extra accepts video and audio content. Do include contact details and any relevant social media handles. Visit our submissions page for further details.
