In the frame of Trebuchet, we ask all new writers to strive to be factual and unique in often unfamiliar territory. So given the subject of Black Sabbath, one of the most written about bands in history, each writer is required to be original in their perspective and scintillating in their prose to scream above the noise.
Writing for Trebuchet: the basics.
- You must write in the third person.
- Your arguments must be based in fact, progress logically, and lead somewhere resounding.
- You need to give your piece a TITLE and a SUBHEADING – this should describe the core idea and premise of your article in an appealing manner.
- Reading through other pieces on the subject (i.e Black Sabbath) you should try to find an approach that is different from the others. It has to be fresh.
In short: focus, research, differentiation, and appeal.
Bon chance and happy hunting.
