HOW TO SUBMIT AN ARTICLE TO AGENT2 MAGAZINE FOR CONSIDERATION

AGENT2 Magazine is always on the look-out for freelance pitches and submissions. Send us your great story pitch or select from our list of leads. Sign up to our monthly submissions newsletter and receive pitch ideas directly to your inbox.

Please direct your pitches and submissions to Graham Gartside. Please include all the good stuff with your pitch; a CV, photograph and a small paragraph telling us why you are the person that AGENT2 Magazine cannot live without.

AGENT2 Magazine prides itself on the way we present our stories so please get to know our tone and subject matter before pitching stories. You can peruse our Editorial Ethos and submission requirements (see below) to ensure your story idea gets selected.

Please submit only original content. Plagiarism, how ever good the story is, is strictly not permitted! AGENT2 Magazine retains first publication rights and the right to reuse or modify content. As a non-staff writer, you will benefit from attribution and a link back to your own site, if applicable. Please carefully read the terms of service before submitting material.

SUBMISSION STANDARDS

Pitching a Story:

  • Your pitch should be limited to 150 words in length and should address the issue of why the editor or readers really need to know about this topic and why it is different than anything else out there.
  • You should explain why you are the one for us. Take into account background information, current involvement or proven interest. If you are involved, you may not be able to write an objective piece.
  • Include two sources (references, quotes, links) that you plan to include.

Content is:

  • Relevant and interesting to our target community, as defined in AGENT2 Magazine’s Editorial Ethos.
  • Covering topics that interest a European based audience that are interested in setting trends rather than following them.

Writing is:

  • Creative and diverse: the work is applicable to more than one group of people and the article clearly demonstrates why and how.
  • Sincere, straightforward and honest content. Tone reflects mood of story accurately.
  • Narrative-like: distinct from news or opinion.
  • Unbiased: regardless of your own beliefs.
  • Correct spelling and grammar: make sure to proofread and carefully edit your own work.
  • Evidence of connections and sources: quotations, references, links are vital to a good article.

If you are submitting your work to AGENT2 Magazine, follow these last few points before submitting your piece.

  • Send your article as a Word .doc or .docx file.
  • Include original art, including screen shots, separately along with your submission (in a .zip file is fine).
  • If your submission includes code, code figures can be embedded in the document.
  • Include a brief one or two-sentence bio statement. If you don’t mind readers contacting you, this can include a blog or e-mail address.
  • If you are referencing external content such as web sites, please make sure we have correct URLs in the document. Embedded hyperlinks aren’t good because they get stripped out during our production process.
  • We consider the copy you send in for publication to be final. If you need to submit revisions, please contact your editor first.
