Hackwriters will accept submissions on any and every topic, within our remit of travel writing, fiction, lifestyles and comment as long as they are analytical or questioning in nature. We will not publish any work that demonstrates discrimination, sexism, racism, or any other -ism you can think of. We are interested in writing of the highest quality, and ask only that it be thought-provoking without being offensive. *Amusing is acceptable too.

Please send either as a single-spaced Microsoft Word attachment or within the body of your email. (Word Limit guide 1200-2200 preferred)
If you wish to include a picture or a graphic with the article, please send it to us as a small JPEG attachment scanned at 72dpi and no larger than 100k

We will reply as soon as possible. Please note that articles not used in the next issue may be carried over for subsequent issues. In this case we will notify you via email of which issue your submission will be included in. Accepted articles will be indexed and archived after a period of time by us and the British Library in Digital form. Hackwriters is a free magazine and does not pay.
Note: we are a site based at a academic institution and are bound by a code of ethics.

The Editor.
