Be A Part Of The Journey

You are here ’coz you are serious about joining TheReelMag as a contributor, I guess. Welcome home. Your generous contribution will be considered as a mutual agreement to everything on this page. Following are the rules:


1: Article should be "original". Writeup is property and liability of contributor. How do we check? Well, there are many in-house mechanisms to check for IP Violations.

2: Racial or Gender bias is condemned by TheReelMag. Same is for any anti-social or anti-national (for any nation) views. Stereotyping is one thing but being prejudiced is other. There is a fine line, so avoid it. Also, we respect audience at large. Cinema cannot be restricted to some elite sections. We frown at snobbish behavior.

3: Any violation of Rule 1 or 2 mentioned above will lead to blocking of contributor on permanent basis. And I am very serious about it. If you have any doubt, write to us at the.reel.admin@gmail.com with 'TheReelMag Policy' as subject

4: For publicity and other purposes, the administrator is free to use write-ups with due credits. It can be shared with other blogs/websites with mutual understanding.

5: Usually for Reviews we keep length between 250-400 words. Same for other segments as well. However, under some circumstances the acceptable length can be 500-600 words. Keep it brief and crisp.

Some FAQs:

1) Who owns the copyright?
A: As said in point 1, 'Writeup is property and liability of contributor'. You own the copyrights though to spread the word, we will/might use your articles with due credits.

2) Can I use articles from my blog?

A: You are most welcome. If you want, we can put link to your blog as well. But we would need a formal request/approval for the same.

3) I want to write a column. How can I give it a shot?

A: You are most welcome. Just send us minimum 3 articles with an interesting column name. We will start posting. After three edition, you can continue with further articles.

Editorial team reserves the right to change the content (in small measure) and even delay publication.

4) Do you edit?

A: Yes, we do.

5) Do you reject?

A: We hate to do so. But we have rejected posts in past... infact the very first post we got, was rejected. We have some editorial policies and we follow them... in general.

6) Do you focus on any particular type of cinema?

A: We don't believe in types of cinema. Cinema is Cinema... above language, genre, artist etc. However, we might have special editions where we will have a focus area. That makes sense, I guess.

A: Please drop a mail to the.reel.admin@gmail.com with 'TheReelMag Complaint' as subject.
