Guest posts invited

Due to work commitments, I am finding it harder to produce regular, meaningful articles for this site.

However, I don’t want the site to lie fallow, and for this reason I am inviting guest posts. I’m afraid there is no payment for guest articles, but your writing will be shared with a social network of c13,000 followers and an average monthly blog readership of c25,000.

Guest articles can be:

  • Reviews of concerts, opera, recordings, music-related books (fiction and non-fiction) and other music-related events/activities (e.g. courses, workshops etc.) or products.
  • Opinion/”think” pieces on music-related subjects, including the music industry, music education etc.
  • At The Piano interview – specifically for piano teachers (sample here)
  • Piano Notes interview for amateur pianists (samples here)
  • Repertoire in Focus (samples here). 
  • Advice to Myself (samples here)
  • Mixtapes (samples here)
  • Articles which have previously appeared on your own blog/website, or elsewhere (provided you have permission to reproduce it).
  • Anything else you feel would be of interest to readers of this site – feel free to pitch suggestions

Send your pitches or articles to me at frances_wilson66@live.com

I look forward to hearing from you and to sharing your words with my readers.

 

Please note: articles which contain direct or obvious marketing/advertising will not be considered.
