IBWM has existed for, almost, five years now and in that time we've enjoyed sharing stories, photographs and artwork from over 700 contributors. Throughout this period we've focused our attention primarily on football, and while there have been occasional excursions into other genres, soccer has remained our raison d'être.

We've no intention to migrate away from the beautiful game and we will continue to welcome all submissions, but we are extremely keen to see if there is suitable interest in covering other topics.  

If you've always wanted to write, or have previously written on music, film, art, history, culture or sports, from any region and any era, we'd be very interested to hear from you - especially so if music is your thing.  

In 2015 we'd like to begin publishing well written articles on anything and everything; if it's interesting, over 1500 words and well set out, we'll offer a good home.

What's in it for you? In all honesty, as an independent, not for profit website we offer a blank space to fill and share your stories with a large group of people and nothing more. We'll try to show your work off in the best possible fashion, will link back to your own site or social profile and will NEVER sell your article on elsewhere.  

If you enjoy researching, creating and sharing we'll try to provide the very best home we can for your work without making any far fetched promises. So if you've a mind to pen something on Bowie, Bauhaus, Boycott or Brunel, please get in touch. You can submit an article directly to us via this link.

Thanks for reading.
