Write for us

Got something to say about music? Send us the idea. If we like it, we'll edit it with you and publish it on SongsBrew with your byline.

What we're after

  • Reviews. Records and shows, old or new. Say what it does, not only whether you liked it.
  • Active listening. One track, heard closely. What's going on in it and why it works.
  • Gear. Things you actually use to make or hear music. No unboxings.
  • RADAR picks. Artists more people should hear, with one track to start on.

What you get

  • A byline and your own author page.
  • Real editing feedback, from someone who reads every line.
  • Your piece published on SongsBrew (we may link to it in the Thursday newsletter).
  • Press passes when we have them.

The deal

It's unpaid. Guest pieces, not a job. Send an idea when you like.

Before you write anything long, read the writer's guide. It's short.
