The Spill is driven by loyal volunteers who have a love for music, a flair for writing and an understanding for meeting important deadlines. We are always looking for unique individuals to join our team and encourage you to e-mail Editor Stephen Lussier at [email protected] with the following:
1) A short introduction about who you are and why you wish to write for The Spill. Donβt forget your name and contact info so we can get in touch with you!
2) Your writing experience, whether itβs writing CD reviews for your campus newspaper or if you are working towards a writing degree. Everything counts (in large amounts).
3) What you wish to cover for us. Please be as specific as possible (CD reviews, features, what your favourite genres are, artists etc.) as it will help us identify if you will be a good fit at The Spill. FYI: listing Nickelback as one of your favourite artists will result in your e-mail being instantly deleted. Weβre not elitists, we just have to draw the line somewhere!
4) Please attach three to five samples of your work, preferably in regular doc format (written work) or JPEGs (photos). Your samples should be relevant to what you wish to cover, e.g. if you want to write CD reviews, send us CD reviews; if you wish to be a photographer for us, send us concert or band photos. **PLEASE NOTE: Spill Magazine contributing photographers must provide written material along with submitted photo coverage. We no longer support ‘photo essay’ journalism alone.
Our editors will carefully examine your portfolio before making a decision so donβt forget to proof-read your work before submitting it!
