I've already said I'd be able to write for the Birmingham website but I'm living in Stratford at the moment so I'd be more than happy to get involved with the coverage of Warwick and surrounding areas, there's loads going on and I'm willing to do anything so bring it on!

Hi Tess, some Warwick coverage would be fantastic - you know better than me what needs mentioning.

Generally the bars and clubs scene tend to be the main focus of our sites so maybe you could start us off with a top five of local bars and pubs?

Yeah that's fine, just thought, are you looking for Warwickshire or Warwick specifically?

laura_mv · MyVillage Joined: 10 Apr 2007 Posts: 745

If you can make it Warwick specifically for this one.

750 words max and make it listy if possible...that ok?

Hello, I'm from the Lincoln area (although soon to be returning to Birmingham) but I know a fair bit about the place. If you need anything writing then I'm sure I can be persuaded to take a saunter into town!
I'm new to this so any advice on what you require would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Elizabeth

Hey,

I can definitely do Guildford, its mostly a studenty club/bar scene, good shopping, that kinda thing. What would you like specifically?

Hello. I'm studying in Leeds at the minute but Derby is my hometown so i would love to give it some acknowledgement. (I'm clued up on all the pubs, bars, clubs and such).

Hi Elizabeth, Sarah, Heather and Laura,

Thanks for all your offers, they are hugely appreciated and gratefully accepted.

Could you kick me off with a top five bars for each of your chosen areas (around 500-750 words including contact details) then if you feel like carrying on a shopping guide (500 words) and/or hidden gems (500-750 words) - as a hint for this one, this is the off the beaten track places, far away from All Bar One, Pizza Express or Topshop. I don't know much about the others but Guildford, Heather, would be fabulous for this...assuming it hasn't gone up the creek since I moved!

Thanks again and I look forward to hearing from you all again soon x

Hi, just seen an advert on journalism.co.uk about contributors. I am currently based in New Milton near Bournemouth so can hopefuly help with any copy that you need from down here?

Hi Brooke, any content on Bournemouth much appreciated.

Can you do us any of the articles above? Or something on the local arts scene perhaps?

Hi there!

I live in Christchurch just outside Bournemouth and I'd love to write an article on sunny sunny Bournemouth....I've lived here all my life and I'm willing to write about anything!

You lucky thing Holly, I love Christchurch.

I also love new Bournemouth content...are you a clubber? If so a guide to the finest clubs (500ish words) or what about a sunworshipper's guide to the area? Where to get a tan, avoid the crowds, check out watersports or meet gorgeous girls and boys in swimwear? (500-600 words) This can include the surrounding areas, not just central Bournemouth.

Or of course if you have any other ideas that would be fab...
