# Write for us > Pitch us a review, gig report, interview or feature. It’s unpaid: you get your byline, an editor and clips to show for it, and you keep your copyright. - Source: https://headtilts.com/pages/write Write for us # Write about the music you can’t stop talking about You don’t need a degree or a track record, just an opinion and a willingness to be edited. It’s unpaid, and we’ll tell you exactly what you get instead. [Pitch us](https://headtilts.com/#contact-form) ## The deal **This is unpaid.** We don’t pay for contributions. If that doesn’t work for you, no hard feelings. If it does, here’s what you get. ### Your name on it A byline on every piece, and an author page with your bio and links. ### A real editor We work through each piece with you and show you the edit before it goes live. ### Clips to show Published work you can point to when you pitch anywhere else, paid outlets included. ### Your copyright You own what you write. We only ask for permission to publish it. ### A shot at access When promos, interviews or guest-list spots come our way, we offer them to contributors. We can’t promise them. ## What we ask of you - Your own work, not published anywhere else - An open mind when it comes to the edit - A heads-up if you’re going to miss a deadline - No paid links, sponsored posts or undeclared ties to the band ## What we’d love to read ### Reviews Albums, EPs and singles. Tell us what it does to you, not just what it sounds like. ### Gig reports The night, the room and the crowd, as well as the setlist. ### Interviews Someone you’d love to talk to, and the question nobody has asked them. ### Features and essays The record that changed your life, or the argument you keep having at the bar. ### Scene reports What’s happening where you live, and who we should know about. ## How it works ### Pitch us A few lines on what you want to write. No finished piece needed. ### Hear back within 7 days Yes, no or “how about this instead”. You’ll get an answer either way. ### Write and edit You set a deadline with your editor, then you work on the piece together. ### See it published It goes live under your name, and it’s yours to share. ## Good questions ### Do you pay? No. We don’t pay for contributions, now or as a promise for later. If you need paid work, and plenty of good writers do, we’ll understand. ### Do I need experience? No. Writing samples help, but a good pitch counts for more than a CV. Your first piece can be your first piece. ### Who owns what I write? You do. You give us a non-exclusive licence to publish it here and share it. We just ask you to wait 30 days before publishing it somewhere else. ### How much do I have to write? As much or as little as you like. There’s no minimum and no contract, and you can stop whenever you want. ### Can I use a pen name? Yes. Your editor needs to know who you are, but readers only see the name you choose. ### Can I pitch a band I’m connected to? Tell us about the connection in your pitch. We can’t run a review of your own band or a client’s, but there may be another way to cover it. ## Pitch us --- From Headtilts: https://headtilts.com/llms.txt lists more of the site.
