What is Doublestop Magazine?
Doublestop Magazine is an online magazine for string musicians and music enthusiasts.
What kinds of articles is Doublestop Magazine looking for?
Profiles. Memoirs. “Behind-the-scenes” explorations. History. Stories. Reviews. Fiction. Interviews. How-tos. Creative non-fiction.
What makes a good article?
A good article:
- tells a story.
- uses the subject of stringed instruments as a starting point, not necessarily the finishing point.
- takes a stand and argues the case with a distinct voice.
- teaches the reader something new while entertaining them.
- is fun!
What doesn’t work well at Doublestop Magazine?
Overly technical or arcane articles won’t fit. Time-dependent and newsy content isn’t appropriate here, either. And, above all, avoid anything that focuses on “inside baseball” without making it accessible to a wider audience.
Who are we writing for?
The work should accessible to a wide audience of people interested in the topic. The primary audience will be string players, although not necessarily professionals. The work should also be interesting enough so that non-players might even enjoy some articles.
Anything else I should know?
Yes — contributors will be paid for their work.
