Creative Writers - your chance!

Are you a creative writer, or perhaps studying a creative course at the University of Derby?

The History Society are looking for new writers to get involved from September 2012 to write articles on a range of different topics. These include your own personal experiences at the University, UDSU events, or articles relating to your course.

There will be a free-lance competition where you can write an article about whatever you like with the chance to win some great prizes.

If you would like to get involved, here are some things to keep in mind:

• You don't need to be a history student, but you do need to be a member of the History Society.
• You can contribute as much or as little as you like. We only ask that you contribute once a month just to keep things exciting.
• International students are welcome to contribute too.
• All content is subject to approval and will need to keep in line with UDSU policies.
• You will be required to attend a bi-monthly informal get-together where we can discuss the content of the blog and what you would like to see happen next.

Benefits:

• You'll be able to develop your creative writing and PR skills as well as add something to your CV.
• You will be able to interact and meet a wide range of people.
• Become a part of a growing Society at the University of Derby.
• Other perks along the way.

If you would like to get involved or wish to find out more information, then you can either send our social secretary Sammie Farrell an email at udsuhistory@gmail.com stating your interest and skills, or come along to Freshers' Fair on the 25th September where one of us will be happy to answer any of your questions.

Photographers:
We are also looking for volunteer photographers who will be happy to take photos of our events throughout the year. Interested? Send your details to Sammie via email with a few samples of your work.

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you all in September!
