ArtsTalk Magazine is always looking for reviewers to write, in English, about performance events or exhibitions in Holland. We do not review films or recorded music. We concentrate on the south west of the country – Amsterdam to Rotterdam and everything in between or nearby.
You must have a keen interest in the arts in general and be fairly knowledgeable – we like our reviewers to be able to do more than just describe the event. We don’t have a “house style” as such but we do like a bit of depth.
PLEASE NOTE – There is no payment of fee or expenses.
ArtsTalk Magazine does not take advertising, is not subsidized and does not generate any income and all our writers are volunteers. We will never ask or expect you to incur any expenses but sometimes, if you are asked by us to write a review for an event, you’ll often get free admission, invitations to exhibition openings and, of course, your name in print on a prestigious website which is often quoted by the theatres, museums, galleries etc we serve.
If you have not been directly asked to write about something we will be happy to consider using any unsolicited reviews or articles you submit. If you become a regular contributor your name will be listed on our About Us page.
We will want about 400-500 words emailed to us as an attachment in a Word file ( .doc or .docx ) or compatible format ( .rtf). Please do not submit as a .pdf file or format your piece in any way as it has to fit into the ArtsTalk template. We will want reviews in by noon the day following a performance or, in the case of an exhibition you have seen, as soon after it has opened as possible.
If this appeals to you, please send a sample review of a show or event you have seen recently or maybe some ideas you have to editor@artstalkmagazine.nl along with a very brief CV and we’ll take it from there.
