We are looking for submissions of articles of 500 words or less. Our target audience is people who don't know much about asylum issues and may not really be all that interested. Therefore we want strong personal stories, creative pieces such as stories or poems, and good public interest links such as sport, arts, food or current events.
We work with people with incredible experiences both in
their country of origin and here in the UK .
We know that people who listen to their stories are often changed by
what they hear. We also know that most
people have very confused or ill-informed opinions of what seeking asylum
really means. So we challenge the myths
and untruths perpetrated by the media.
Any links to Leeds are
obviously a bonus but not essential. Articles written by people with direct experience
of claiming asylum are particularly welcome.
One Planet Leeds has a circulation of over 1,000 readers and
is produced both as an online pdf and as a printed magazine. Articles may also
be used for this Blog.
One Planet Leeds is produced by LASSN with support from 8
charities in Leeds . We regret we cannot
provide any payment for articles.
If you have an article idea please email
pressgangleeds(at)hotmail.com by 1 October 2013.
