What we need: articles & features

Please take a look at the sections in Go that we will be commissioning. If you have a great idea and it will fit into one of the following sections, then you have until 30 July 2007 to pitch us your ideas! If we like what we see, we'll commission you to write the full article, and discuss word length with you then.

Red letter days - a real-life, personal travel story that embodies the reason why we travel – to have amazing, unforgettable experiences. 400 words.

Features - there will be a variety of feature types and lengths. We're seeking content that falls under one of the following categories:

Places: Stories that introduce readers to new places; places that are amazing, happening, out-of-the-way, beautiful, off the beaten track... or original takes on well-known destinations.
 
Issues: Stories that examine what issues are affecting, influencing or inspiring young people's travel experiences.

Services: Practical stories designed to help readers make the most of the challenges and opportunities they'll face while travelling

Unsure of what is involved in a pitch? Take a look at this great article on vibewire.net, which should tell you all you need to know.

What we need: creative

Each issue, Go will print one fiction piece (800 words) and one poem (to approximately 30 lines). We also feature three full-page photographs per issue. If you'd like to have your photo on the pages of Go, send a low-res copy of the image to us for consideration.

If you'd like your creative work to be considered for issue 2, please send us your photograph, story or poem in its entirety by 30 August 2007.

Go is an initiative of Vibewire, a youth media and arts organisation. We look forward to hearing your ideas!
