Subjective Magazine is a submission-based publication centralized around a thematic type of person each issue. The first issue’s theme is “Strangers.” Submissions are anything from poetry, short stories, photographs, and drawings, as long as it considers the theme at hand.
Placebo were amazing last night. Just stunning. They played all the old favourites, and we even got ‘running up that hill’ as part of the encore.
Pretty funny five minutes when one of Brian’s pedals broke and he just chatted for a while. The gig was pretty small too, it felt good and personal.
Basically, one happy fan right here!
Subjective is a new quarterly that focuses on a different type of person with every issue. The first one is “strangers,” and I wrote a small thing for it if you’re interested.
And if you want to be part of the second issue, you can! Any sort of submission that can be displayed in a print medium (words, pictures…) are welcome! This is the original ‘call to arms’ post, and all the contact details if you want to get in touch are still the same (I believe!).
Sent a script to BBC Writersroom today. Glad it’s away. Onto other things… (Taken with instagram)
Born in 1988. Dad was a butcher, mum couldn’t work because she had MS. Went to school in the village I grew up in, and a strong sense of family. Granny (mum’s mum) died, and the family fell apart a bit. Better now though. Went to High School and was liked enough, not “popular” or picked on, just fine. Made brilliant friends, and got drunk a lot when I hit 16. After school, tried university in Dundee, but dropped out. Stayed in Dundee though, to work, and decided to become a writer. Studied at college, now write things like this.
