Whether you're an aspiring football writer, graphic designer or artist, or all-round creative, we would love to hear your thoughts and ideas.
LIBERO is going to print and we're aiming to release our first printed issue in May 2021, just ahead of the upcoming (and delayed) European Championships.
As such, we're looking for European Championships-related articles and for the Euros generally to be the running theme throughout our inaugural issue. You can interpret the theme as loosely or as rigidly as you like of course. The quirkier the better.
If you're idea is non-Euros related then please send in your pitch regardless. We'll be looking to print Issues 2 and 3 in August and November 2021, respectively, and would love to consider pitches for them. We're currently planning to announce a theme for each issue ahead of their publication but naturally at this moment in time we're open to ideas.
At this stage, I'm compelled to inform you that we can't currently offer any paid work for contributions. This is something we're hoping to change when looking at later issues once we have a more accurate gauge on finances and the general interest in our magazine. Regardless, I hope you see this as an opportunity to get your work (written or otherwise) published, have your voice heard and to get your name out there.
For all article pitches, artwork contributions or even declarations of interest in our printed issue please drop me an email at luke@liberomag.com. Can I request that you don't send in fully finished articles as there is a chance that your pitch may have already been written or may not make the cut. A pitch outlining your article idea and a summary over a couple of sentences would be more than sufficient. The deadline for submitting your pitch is 30th September 2020, with final pieces to be completed and submitted by 30th November 2020.
For artists, graphic designers or illustrators, an expression of interest with a link to your website or social media account via email would be more than sufficient. If you could let us know of your interest in contributing prior to the deadline of 31st October 2020 that would be greatly appreciated.
Your continued support and interest remains most welcome and, as always, any sharing on social media or otherwise is always greatly appreciated.
All the best, Luke.
