Write for Broadway Baby

Broadway Baby is one of the UK’s leading arts publications, with a legacy built on reviewing and now expanding into interviews, features and wider cultural coverage.

Our reviewers are first and foremost experienced in the subject matter they cover. To write for Broadway Baby, contributors must have practical experience in arts performance – whether as actors, comedians, writers, directors or dancers. We believe that to evaluate a production, particularly in the unique context of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, it helps to have stood on the stage oneself. First-hand understanding of the challenges performers face – and of what audiences expect – ensures our writers are well placed to assess whether a show is worth the ticket price.

Just as essential is the ability to write copy that is clear, insightful and engaging – often on the basis of a single viewing. Our reviewers typically see and write about several shows per day, demanding a high level of focus, professionalism and stamina.

Our editorial operation is supported by Thistle – a bespoke, in-house system built specifically to manage the complex scheduling of thousands of performances across multiple festivals. Thistle also supports team coordination and editorial oversight.

Professionalism is central to what we do. When we accept a press ticket, we are committed to delivering the promised coverage. New reviewers undertake a probationary period to ensure they meet our editorial standards, follow our style guide, and – crucially – can be relied upon to attend all scheduled shows.

All roles at Broadway Baby are voluntary. While this is not a path to financial gain, it offers genuine experience of working to deadlines and house style in a busy newsroom environment – valuable preparation for anyone hoping to build a career in arts journalism.

We also offer a range of practical perks. At major festivals, contributors receive full media accreditation and access to partner discount schemes to help make the experience as rewarding and accessible as possible.

Pseudonyms are fine, but they should be a believably 'real' name, not a nickname.
