Are you studying journalism or media in or around Stratford-upon-Avon? We would love to read your work.

Send us a finished story about Stratford-upon-Avon. If it is a good fit, we will publish it on Stratford Avon News under your name, and you will have a real published piece for your portfolio and your CV.

What makes a good story

Something local that you went out and found yourself: an interview, a review, an event you were at, or a feature on something people here are talking about.

A few things that help:

  • Around 400 to 800 words
  • Speak to at least one person and quote them by name
  • Add your own photos if you can
  • It should be your own work, and not published anywhere else

We do not run crime or court reports from contributors, or anything written to promote a business.

What you get

  • Your name on the story, and your own author page with a link to your LinkedIn or portfolio
  • You can call yourself a contributor to Stratford Avon News on your CV
  • Once you have had three stories published, we will gladly write you a reference
