Dear You,

The fact that you’re even reading this means that you’re the kind of freak I could easily fall in love with. You, you’re mother, her dentist and all of his sisters.

You see, SINK magazine operates on the stolen time of this city’s arty underground. Our creative collective is imprisoned by other ‘professional’ pursuits, but this is where they come to play.

And while my writers have a habit of constantly over-complicating everything with their beautiful words, what we need is simple: stories and pictures of Sydney.

Stories, photos, poems, paintings and assorted pieces of aged sandstone. Send me your words – I want to publish you. Online, instore and in our magazine (which is on it’s way – I promise).

Here’s what we’re looking for:

WRITERS:
Gig reviews, drug reviews, whore reviews – stories of stupidity and recklessness, as well as the limited and shady history of our great city. Get inside the story, give me something weird.
If you’d read it in the Tele – I don’t want it. Keep it Sydney and keep it odd.

PHOTOGRAPHERS:
We love everything from amateur nights out, to professional portfolio shots. However, we will draw a line, so serious hobbyists only please (save the saturated, ‘at arms length’ point and shoots for Facebook). The best way to start is to send us your photobucket/flickr link and we’ll talk it out from there.

DESIGNERS:
There is not a single problem that can’t be fixed with the right designer. And we’ve got plenty of problems. Firstly, we’re currently designing issue 1, so anyone with a solid grasp of Indesign or any relevant print experience would be fantastic. Also, the SINK banner is updated regularly and the invite is open to all designers. Just send through a JPG (960×200px) with a fitting picture and the SINK logo (DOWNLOAD HERE).

LAWYERS:
Yes please – it would be lovely to have someone on our side.

ASSORTED SCALLYWAGS:
What if you’re not into words and pictures?
What if ‘public nuisancery’ is more your thing?
Well well well my little letterboxer – we have just the spot for you too! Drop us a line, start a conversation and help us spread the (often ridiculous) word with our posters.

This is by no means a ruling list, we’d love to hear from the musos, weirdos and scientists of this city – anyone with an interesting face and a story to match. Just drop us a line, tell us who you are: submissions@sink.es

All my love,
George Bannister, Editor
