What are the specifications of the magazine?

Not currently. We are keen to see the magazine remain free from advertising at this stage.

Can I get involved with contributing to Boneshaker?

Yes! We are keen to have people contributing to the magazine, so whether you want to write, take photographs, illustrate or have other ideas for getting involved, please get in touch. If you have a specific idea for a piece, email over a quick pitch explaining your idea in a paragraph or two, telling us why it’s new/interesting/important and saying where you’d go, who you’d speak to and what your angle on the story would be. It’s also useful to have an idea of timeframes – when you could deliver the finished piece (if commissioned) and whether the content relates to a date-specific event.  It is important to bear in mind that the magazine is being sold internationally and as such, all articles need to be applicable regardless of their geography. If you are submitting photography, please remember that all images need to be a minimum of 300dpi resolution and preferably more where possible. We’re delighted with the level of interest we’ve had from potential contributors all over the world – but we’ve a limited number of pages to fill and lots of people who’d like to help fill them – so sadly we can’t use everything we’re sent.

Can you pay me for my contribution?

The magazine is currently a not-for-profit venture and as such we are unable to pay people for their submissions at this stage. However, all contributors will receive a free copy or two of the magazine and have the opportunity to buy further copies of the magazine at cost price should they wish.

Do you have a press pack that will help me promote the magazine on my blog/website?

Yes, we have collected together the cover art and some spreads from the latest issue of the magazine, along with the logo and some words to get you started… download it here.
