Winter Magazines
The editorial teams at SHMU are hard at work already on our Autumn/Winter editions.
The Torry's Vision deadline is the 4th of August, with Cumming North coming up next on the 18th of August.
After that we're looking for content for Mastrick Matters by the 1st of September and the Tilly Tattle by the 14th of September.
If you live in Woodside, Middlefield or Seaton you have a little longer to get prepared as their content deadlines aren't until October but keep your eyes peeled on the website and the magazine Facebook pages for more information.
Like what you read and what we do? Then get involved in your community publication! Do you know that shmuPRESS have over 45 active volunteers working on our community magazines in the seven regeneration areas of our city? Our volunteers work hard throughout the year alongside our shmuPRESSand shmuDESIGN teams to produce seven full colour magazines filled to the brim with all the latest community news, opportunities, issues and stories relevant to you and your local community.
Each magazine is produced three times per year, delivering 21 publications citywide per annum. They contain local stories and relevant information, granting the city a rare and personalised insight into the hearts of our communities. The best aspect of this is delivering each area a platform to air their views, concerns and report on issues that are important to them. It is also an opportunity to present an insider’s view of each community and showcase some of the amazing work happening within them.
The process begins with a group meeting, and the volunteers are responsible for sourcing material and deciding on what goes into each publication. Working in conjunction with our shmu team, volunteers involved with shmuPRESS can receive training in journalism and learn exactly how their community magazine is constructed. Budding photographers can also get involved in their locality and provide images for the magazines. There are a number of ways that you can become involved in your local publication, contact Laura Young by email at laura.young@shmu.org.uk or call on 01224 515013 for more information.
