Editorial
We set up our Stage Briefs and Community Theatre sections to allow exposure for interesting news and features about Performing Arts, which aren’t necessarily prominent enough for placement at the head of our News and Features section.
Articles in this section of the website are generally shared on our Facebook and Twitter.
Please read some of the recent articles below. The best ones are tightly written, exclude hyperbole and include quotes. All submissions must include an attractive image in landscape orientation. Booking details, including a url which we can hyperlink, should appear at the end of the article.

What do I do when I get Editorial, or a Review online supported by a shout out in Stage Whispers’ social media?
Like and share our article on your Facebook and Twitter. Like and share our social media postings, as this ensures greater audience reach.
How do I guarantee online editorial, specially supported by boosted coverage to Stage Whispers' Facebook followers, maximising my reach among my target audience?
