Contribute to Wymondham Magazine
Each of our editions is made up of articles submitted by people from across the community, who've got something they want to share with the town.
Whether you have a lifelong interest, belong to a community group, have uncovered a fascinating piece of local history or simply have a story worth telling, we'd love to hear from you.
You don't need to have written for a magazine before. If it is about Wymondham, its people or the things that happen here, we're interested!
You can send contributions and ideas to news@wymondhammagazine.co.uk.
It's the people that make it: quite literally
Enthusiasm matters far more than having previous publishing experience or considering yourself a 'writer'. And there's no commitment or cost to submitting articles.
We are always looking for new regular or one-off contributors who simply know something interesting that people in town will enjoy reading about.
It could be about a local sporting team. A personal milestone or achievement. Maybe you know something unique about Wymondham's history. Or you've got strong views on something going on in town. No idea is off the table!
Our editorial team will take your submission and present it in our professionally produced finished magazine, e-edition and website for thousands of to enjoy.

A few helpful pointers
These points help us process contributions efficiently and prepare them for publication.
- Keep the article relevant to Wymondham and the surrounding community.
- Paste the article into the email rather than placing it inside a formatted Word document.
- Attach photographs separately rather than embedding them into a document.
- Only send photographs and other material you have permission for us to publish and include any relevant credits we should include.
- We may edit contributions for length, clarity, accuracy or house style before publication.
- Advertising or promotional material presented as an article should be directed to our advertising sales team at adverts@wymondhammagazine.co.uk to discuss pricing.
Got an idea?
It does not have to arrive as a fully formed magazine feature. If you are wondering whether something would make a good article, send us an email and tell us about it.
We would much rather have the conversation than miss a great local story.
