Can you review my band, film, book, etc.?

Can you send a writer to cover my event?
We occasionally have writers cover events, but not that often. If you have a big event or festival coming up and you’d like to have us there, send us the info. and we’ll do our best to get a writer and photographer to cover it for the site.

How does the article voting work?
After reading an article, visitors have the option to vote whether or not they liked it. The writer whose article gets the highest positive votes at the end of the month will receive a special prize.

Is profanity allowed?
We don’t really believe in censorship on our site, but overuse of anything is never good, especially when it comes to writers using profanity for shock value or as a crutch. Use your best judgment, and we’ll let you know if your language is ever an issue preventing your article from being published.

How do you choose what articles get published?
We have a team of editors that read all submissions before articles are published, and the submissions that we feel have great content and are interesting to read go on the site. If for some reason we don’t think a submission is quite up to par, we’ll still get back to you and let you know why. You can always re-submit an article if it didn’t make it the first time.

What can I write about?
Anything dealing with music, arts and culture is fair game. Be creative, we love to learn about new music, ideas, and cultures.
