Contribute
General Overview
From the outset, the remit of London Theatre Blog (LTB) has been to widen participation and involve a diverse range of writers to explore as many facets of performance as possible. This has lead to a number of contributions from one-off guest writers, often writing about their own personal area of expertise. But LTB has also welcomed regular contributors who submit articles of their choice on a weekly or monthly basis.
What’s in it for you?
LTB is currently a non-funded online publication and unfortunately cannot offer contributors financial remuneration at this stage. LTB does run site-wide advertisement but any ad-generated revenue goes towards covering site maintenance costs. However, what LTB can offer is the unique opportunity to expose your work through an established and respected publication.
Each regular contributor is given an optional profile page with space for some biographical information, a link to a website and a point of contact. All contributors, either one-off or regular, retain intellectual copyright over their work.
Content
The type of work you choose to submit is left entirely at your discretion. Past work has included show reviews, play text reviews, excerpts from research papers, short essays, interviews with practitioners, criticism and commentary, contextualised excerpts from new writing and more. We are now in a Web era where streaming video and audio is common currency. So submissions of work in a non-text based medium are also fully acceptable.
The only prerequisites for prosepective contributors are the following:
- your work should engage with performance at some level
- your work should be succinct, original and seek to challenge its audience
- your work should be of high quality
So if you’re passionate about the performing arts, looking for an outlet for your work and can deliver to a high standard, this is an excellent opportunity to get involved.
