WRITE
FOR US
THE
UNDERGROUND
CONTRIBUTORS
Anyone can contribute to The Underground. The
process of writing for The Underground is very simple;
send a short message to editor@the-underground.
ca with your intent to join our writer’s list. Thereafter,
every month, our content and online editors will send
out a list of article topics (called skeds) for you to pick
from. You don’t have to write for every issue – when
you want to write is completely up to you. You can
reply back to those emails and let the editors know
which topic you want to write about. If you have an
idea you would like to pitch to a section, just email
the editor in question or catch them at our writers’
meeting. Our writers’ meetings are held 24 hours
before skeds are sent out, so join us if you would like
the first pick at articles. Information on our writers’
meeting is available with our publication schedule on
our website.
Please visit the-underground.ca/employment
for more information.
CONTRIBUTOR POLICIES:
We are a student publication and so, like you, we too
have other deadlines and commitments to attend to.
Please stick to the dates prescribed by your editors.
Regular delays in your submission will be noted and
in the case of frequent delays you will be placed
under review and your opportunity to contribute to
the publication in the future will be compromised.
Additionally, if you fail to submit an article, you will be
placed under review.
Pick a topic you are interested in; don’t just write for
the sake of writing.
We provide plenty of opportunities for you to have
a word with our editors regarding your writing style,
topic or any other grievances. If you do not use the
services we offer yet still send in weak articles, we
reserve the right to not publish your work.
Please allow at least 2 business days for our editors to
get back to your inquiries, suggestions and comments.
Again, we are students.
You may direct any questions to
editor@the-underground.ca.
