Guest submissions

Got something important that needs saying? Fancy giving your journalistic skills a test? Think you could be a part of Homo-Journal? Here's your chance!

Since our launch, we've been sent a number of entertaining guest posts, some of which have been published on this very blog. We believe that everybody has the potential to write for us, so we're throwing open the blog to everybody, and are asking for your posts!

Here's how you can get involved:

• Simply write your article. There is no word limit, and there are no rules regarding what your post should be about - as long as it isn't offensive, obscene or contain anything illegal. Please remember to use correct spelling and grammar, and cite any copyrighted material you have used (such as photos and videos).
• When you're happy with your post, e-mail it to homojournal@gmail.com as an attachment in one of the following file formats:
• .doc
• .docx
• .rtf
• Any pictures you use in your article should also be attached to your e-mail, as .jpg or .png file.
• Please remember to state the name you wish for us to use in your e-mail. This could be a pen-name or your real name. Your age and location are not required, but you may include them if you wish.

There will also be occasions when your regular homo-journalist won't be able to post. Rest assured that we will do everything we can to minimise disruption by swapping posting days for one week, however, if this does not solve our problem, then your help will be required! Simply write an article related to the theme of the week, and follow the guidelines above. We will post the details of the theme, the day we need your post, and the closing time for entries on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

If your article is selected for publication, we'll send you a reply e-mail, in which we'll tell you if we've had to make any changes to the content, etc. We will then post your article for you.

Not sure what to write?

Have a look at some previous guest posts to get an idea as to what will get published!

We do not pass on your e-mail address or identity to any third parties. Once you submit your article we will not be able to return it to you. You may send us more than one version of your article, in which case the most recent version we receive will be posted. We will not contact you via e-mail once your article has been published. The article remains your intellectual property and it is your responsibility to ensure that your article is in accordance with the copyright law of your country and of the United Kingdom, and any third party material you use in your article has been correctly acknowledged and cited.
