There are three ways to contribute
an ARTICLE or a LETTER
to the Willow Walker:
- Write it and send it directly
via this website
- For people living in or near Cambridge, the Willow
Walker records an interview with you. This usually
takes between 20 and 40 minutes. The Willow Walker
then types up and edits the recording. You check
the result. If you don’t like it, it doesn’t
go in; if you do, it does. 80% of the articles in
the magazine are done in this way.
- Record yourself on an ordinary cassette tape and
send the result to the address below. As above,
the Willow Walker will edit the recording and confirm
the final copy with you before publication.
POEMS are accepted only if
the poet is prepared to talk or write about
the work.
PHOTOGRAPHS, DRAWINGS
and CARTOONS are welcome.
ADVERTISEMENTS cost £25
for a quarter page.
