Outsiders Journal is based in Australia, with coverage led from Melbourne and contributors across different cities where available.

Live coverage is limited and depends on contributor availability, location, timing and fit.

If you’re requesting media coverage (photography or a live review) for a show, use the contact form with the date, venue, city, lineup and what kind of coverage you’re after.

We work with photographers and contributors across Australia, so this helps us line up the right coverage where possible.

Submitting a request does not guarantee coverage on Outsiders Journal. We’re a small team and receive more submissions than we can realistically take on, so not every request will be the right fit at that time.

We encourage you to keep submitting requests for consideration.

We accept submissions for new releases, tour announcements, video premieres, interviews and other music news through our submissions form.

We encourage you to keep submitting requests for consideration.

We’re now open to a small number of contributors across Australia.

We’re selective about who we bring on and review submissions carefully to make sure the quality, style, and consistency align with Outsiders Journal.

We’re looking for people with a clear style, reliable communication and the ability to meet deadlines.
Experience helps, but taste, care and consistency matter more.

If you’re interested, send through a short intro, your location, what kind of coverage you’re interested in, and links to recent work. Links only, please.

Show coverage often includes both photography and a written review, but we also accept review-only contributions.

Not every submission or application will be the right fit for Outsiders Journal, and that doesn’t automatically reflect the quality of your work. A lot of what we’re looking for comes down to style, consistency, timing and how it fits within the direction of the site.

If you’re genuinely interested in contributing, we encourage you to keep submitting work over time. Seeing growth, consistency and perspective matters more to us than one perfect gallery.

Yes. We’re open to guest features, opinion pieces, and long-form ideas where they fit Outsiders Journal.

Use the contact form and include the topic, angle, why it suits OJ, any relevant links, and a short example of your writing if you have one.
