Word counts: This will vary depending on the article but if no word count is specified we are looking for between 800-1000 words. this is not set in stone and always up for discussion with our editors. Submissions: when submitting your article, please try to be prompt and on time. we are flexible so do just let us know if you need an extension or any help with completing your article! we are understanding of any and all issues, but if we are consistently let down we may have to consider giving the spot to someone else. all we ask is that you communicate with us so we can get your work published with us!
EACH MONTH OUR EDITORS WILL SHARE CONTENT CALLS AND PITCH IDEAS THAT THEY'D LIKE TO SEE IN THEIR SECTION THE FOLLOWING MONTH. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO TO GRAB AN ARTICLE IS COMMENT ON ANY PITCH THAT INTERESTS YOU!

Plagiarism & originality: we will not tolerate plagiarism. any articles submitted to us need to be original - if they have been published elsewhere before, we will be unable to publish them on the collective magazine. any work you write for us is owned by you, so once it's published by us you may share it and of course keep it for your portfolio! that's the aim of the collective magazine. social media & sharing: obviously we want you to be proud of the work you do with us and be able to share it on social media and elsewhere. our editors will likely ask for your social media information so that we can tag you in any social posts relating to your article, but if by chance we've missed you just let us know and we'll resolve it!
we hope that this is helpful for understanding how to get involved with us! If you have any further questions, please email our editor in chief, millie, at: editor.thecollectivemag@gmail.com You can also find us on social media and dm us there with any queries!
