About Feature Articles

While there are exceptions, feature stories in our Music, Visual Art, Literature and Theatre/Film sections are usually 1,500-2,000 words in length. We tend to handpick our feature article contributors, but if you have a great story or idea, we're open to hearing from you. Please email us at editors@heretheremag.com with your story pitch or idea before sending a completed feature article for consideration.

Our Current Needs for Section Articles

Rock-n-Roll Socialite (Music)
Do you regularly attend local shows in your city of residence? Do you have a favorite band in your home town that could use some exposure? Write about your experiences at a show.

Beginnings (Theatre/Film)
Are you a theatre or film professional who feels that you're on your way? Have you had some recent success? We want to know what you did and how you pulled it off. How might others do the same thing? What challenges did you encounter along the way, and how did you overcome them? Beginnings section articles should be 350-500 words in length.

Graphic Design & Photography

Please do not send us your entire portfolio. Instead, choose three to five images that best represent your work as a whole, and send them as GIF or JPEG files.
