Become a contributor
The Double Negative magazine acts as a platform for a team of local, national and international creative professionals. Writers, artists, designers, historians, illustrators, photographers, curators, academics, zine-makers, filmmakers, cineastes … if you’re passionate about arts, design, film or music, in Liverpool or around the rest of the UK, we want to hear from you.
We offer all our contributors (and only our contributors) a profile on Little Black Book. It includes a high res image of you, some questions to get to know you more, and any links to your work you want to include.
If you would like to become part of our team through writing, artwork or anything else, please email the editors:
Mike Pinnington, mike[at]thedoublenegative.co.uk
or
Laura Robertson, laura[at]thedoublenegative.co.uk.
Editorial Support
Our writers have gone on to work freelance for many other publications and online platforms, including VICE, Art World, Dazed, the Guardian, the Independent, Aesthetica Magazine, Corridor 8, Creative Tourist, Garageland, Shanghai International, a-n news, Tate Online and more.
We offer:
- Good editorial support, which usually includes a pitching process, back-and-forth editing and individual, focused feedback.
- Connection with/introductions to other publications in our network.
- Live events (e.g. screenings, networking, book clubs, discussions) – see the site and our Twitter for updates.
- Paid commissions and training programmes (e.g. masterclasses, mentoring), in collaboration with UK partners — like Write Critical with Contemporary Visual Arts Network North West (CVAN NW), Be A Critic with Liverpool John Moores University, and Liverpool Biennial Touring Programme.
