An invitation to write for The Liberal Online
Alex Singleton (London)  Opinions on liberty

Toby Baxendale and I are working on an internet portal called The Liberal Online. It needs writers – maybe you could be one of them? The portal's intellectual starting point is with the philosophical radicals and Manchester liberals from the 19th century. Its motto is "For free markets not corporatism".

We are looking for a mix of article sizes. We would really love 800-1600 word essays which will be featured on the home page. But we are also after shorter, blog-length pieces too. There are going to be themed blog sections: there's one already called Rip Mix Burn which discusses intellectual property. There is going to be one on war (we're thinking of calling it War and Peace: is there a better name?) but from a Cobdenite point of view. Think Sean Gabb and Peter Oborne, not that fat guy who does films. Nutty wierdness is not what we are after, but well-argued radicalism.

We would like to get new talent, undiscovered people of great brilliance. Contributions are unpaid. If you would like to get in touch, drop an e-mail to alex @ theliberalonline.org

Comments

Just been over there for a gander and ended up reading a fascinating article by Toby Baxendale (if I remember) about the Acid House scene, back in the day.
