They describe it as “a great opportunity for you to have your work published on a reputable website and… something to add to your CV”
Once they create a profile for you,
“you can log in and write an article for us any time you like! Ideally, this would be once a week, or more if you would like. We will also make it clear that the article was written by you.”
The magazine currently features interviews with Keith Lemon, Derren Brown and Embarrassing Bodies GP Dr Pixie McKenna.
Jenna, who works for the Guide writes,
“We have a variety of topics for you to write about – including music, film, TV, fashion, technology and student accommodation, to name a few.
If you’re interested in this opportunity then we would love to hear from you!”
