We'd love to hear your ideas, thoughts and submissions. But while we do accept unsolicited material, we sadly can't reply to everyone who writes to us. We're very sorry.

If you'd like to write, take photos, draw or style for us, please email words@ohcomely.co.uk or pictures@ohcomely.co.uk with a pitch for a piece/shoot/feature or two, along with a few samples of your work. Please also put the word 'Submission' in the subject line.

We're on the look-out for all sorts of ideas: photo features, interviews, personal perspectives, recipes, even quizzes, and we love hearing what you're passionate about. But bear in mind what will appeal to oh comely readers; they're curious, creative, funny, grounded types. A look at our previous issues is a must, of course, but here's what we look out for:

Writing that's intelligent, perceptive or laugh-out-loud funny. Sharp-eyed personal perspectives; features unearthing something fascinating; inspiring, playful investigations. The best ideas will make readers turn to a friend and say, "You've got to read this, it's hilarious/eye-opening/inspirational."

oh comely's photography is equal parts nostalgic, quirky, understated and honest, but always with a calm air and a peaceful disposition. Both samples and feature pitches are welcome. We also encourage you to share your photographs with all our staff (and readers) on our submissions pool on Flickr.

Similarly, for illustration, we welcome both samples and pitches: we're always curious to hear what inspires you to sharpen your pencils or get out your tablet.
