Nine years ago when we started Hackwriters it was the world's hardest thing to get writers to commit to it. Now, readers realise that with no pop-ups, no ads, nothing but good writing, a great archive and a huge range of contributors right across the globe, it is a magazine to look forward to.
We are diverse, morešs the point Hackwriters is defined by itšs 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, soul controversies by Rev Antonio Hernandez and travel regulars like Colin Toduhunter,James Skinner, Dermot Sullivan, all 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 like passionate filmgoer Alex Grant who used to write for Variety. That's the beauty of Hackwriters, you never know who might be reading it. Editor's really are looking for new writers. (I guess we're becoming a low-rent Reuters) Need a writer in India, USA, Australia, Japan, China? We've got em.
Now we are part of the MA in Creative Writing at Portsmouth University
