If
you would like to write for Fufkin.com, please read
the About Us page. If you don't
think you would be a good fit, stop here.
ESTABLISHED,
MAJOR, PAID WRITERS
If
you are a big deal, consider it. Even an occasional
review is ok. Consider writing for us under a pseudonym. I
will never tell, not even to the staff. Think about how
you can write about what you really think without fear of
ridiculous edits! Go to Contact Us
Page for e-mail address.
OTHER
PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE
1.
If your experience level is not quite Jim Derogatis or Greg
Kot level but previous nonetheless, send me a short e-mail
describing what type of music you like and the last few CDs
you purchased. Give me a few desert island discs and briefly
tell me why one is the clear favorite or why you pick the
CDs in no particular order. This doesn't have to be a thesis.
I just want to see what you care about, because if the e-mail
is a hassle, you probably are not interested enough to submit
anything that is worthwhile.
2.
Then:
a. refer me to urls of the work (preferred); or
b.
attach at least one but no more than three examples of your
best work in Word format, any version, including WordPad,
or as a .txt or .rtf document.
c.
tell me in an e-mail if you'd like to do a monthly column,
how you envision a monthly column and what you would want
to write about.

NO
EXPERIENCE
If
you have no experience and are seeking an opportunity:
1.
Send me a short e-mail describing what type of music you like
and the last few CDs you purchased. Give me a few desert island
discs and briefly tell me why one is the clear favorite or
why you pick the CDs in no particular order. This doesn't
have to be a thesis. I just want to see what you care about,
because if the e-mail is a hassle, you probably are not interested
enough to submit anything that is worthwhile.
2.
by e-mail, drop names of friends who you think will impress
me;
3.
by e-mail, send me your review of any recording that matters
to you in Word format, any version, including WordPad, or
as a .txt or .rtf document.
If
you have no experience and we decide to accept your work,
I will need you to listen to at least 5 submitted recordings
a month to start. You will have no obligation to review
anything, but I will ask you to report back to me by the
1st when you listened and why the recording failed to cut
it in at least a few sentences a recording. Once you have
submitted and I have accepted at least 6 reviews over a two
month period, I will give you the opportunity to do a monthly
column for us. Remember, you can review anything, but you
will have to listen to at least 5 a month of what we send
you.

I
hope there a few great writers still out there that are not
spoken for. We will develop you if you have the talent. Take
a chance and contact us today. Don't be shy. We are all friends
here.
Thanks
for considering us.
