7) RENEGADE WRITERS' E-MAIL ADDRESSES -- INVITE A WRITER TO A SHOW
Geoff Wilbur’s Renegade Newsletter’s writers have the authority to decide to cover a show without receiving prior permission from the publisher. If we have a writer in your area, invite him/her out to catch your gig. A list of our writers and their e-mail addresses is at http://www.geoffwilbur.com/renegade/monthly_writers_email_addresses.html.
--------------------------------------------------------------
8) MISCELLANEOUS OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
We accept CDs and cassettes of all musical styles for review. Please send one or two copies to the address at http://www.geoffwilbur.com/renegade/monthly_contact_info.html -- the shortcut listed in Section 6 above. If you are or represent an unsigned or independent band, please print out and include the review submission form on the website (http://www.geoffwilbur.com/renegade/reviewform.html) that will allow us to get copies of the reviews into the right people’s hands more efficiently.
We're always looking for more writers. Writing positions at GWRN are unpaid, though the perks are great. If you or a writer you know would like to cover your local music scene for Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter, please direct an inquiry to Geoff Wilbur at geoff@geoffwilbur.com.
Thanks again for reading yet another monthly update. As the months pass, watch for more improvements and additions. Feel free to make suggestions. And hey, go to http://www.geoffwilbur.com/renegade/subscribe.html, print out the form, and sign up to get yourself a subscription to your favorite edition.
And hey, for those of you
who are really curious, go ahead and check out the home page I've set up at http://www.geoffwilbur.com. In addition to a few personal items and a
link to a website of job hunting links I maintain on geocities, you’ll find a
page of GWRN links, limited mostly to things that need frequent
maintenance, like back issue purchase forms and advertising deadlines... and
links to the official GWRN home page, which is, has been, and (as far as
I'm concerned) will always be http://membrane.com/renegade.
(They're great people over there at
membrane.com who gave us early Internet guidance and
have helped us out of more than one jam over the years, and we're proud to be
part of their online community.)
