All about Hackwriters. The online portfolio of good writing whether fiction, travel, comment or lifestyles. Hackwriters is a free internet magazine devoted to interesting writing, on any subject. It is completely independent and receives virtually no money from advertising. It has no bias. We do not pay any fees for work published, but aim to offer a forum of quality work by new or unpublished writers, or by established writers wishing to say something different or branch out. If you have something to say, we want to hear it. See submissions.

2011- Our 12th year
Managing Editor Sam North

Can't believe we are still here. Ten months in on our 12th year of offering a free non-profit making on-line magazine with around 40 articles a month. Sheer madness. *There is a danger that we may actually close at the end of 2012 due to financial costs and to be honest everyone is stuck in Facebook and they aren't ever going to let you out. Much has changed this past year. I have left Portsmouth University and no doubt there will be many more thousands made redundant in the Higher Education sector over next two years as the new fee structure kicks in.


Hackwriters is diverse, more's the point Hackwriters is defined by excellent travel writing, incisive lifestyle pieces, political and social commentary as well as innovative fiction. Every month we have some committed columnists who never miss a deadline, such as the American sports/politics writer James Campion, and James Skinner in Spain, who bring their unique perspectives to their quarters of the globe.

Why do it? After all Hacks is free, no one gets paid. Well it's an on-line portfolio ­ a showcase for good writing from beginners to experienced old hands. That's the beauty of Hackwriters, you never know who might be reading it. Editor's really are looking for new writers. Need a writer in India, USA, Australia, Japan, China? We've got em.

2009: November: We were archived by the British Library. This little corner of the Web will be stored forever in a dusty cyber storage vat for future generations to wonder at and be astonished at how primitive the web used to be. If you think about it so much of the web has already disappeared... - thanks to the British Library we shall remain.
