The Cambridge Nutter is a new Comedy magazine at the University of Cambridge. It is entirely student run and welcomes contributions from outside the university.

We are currently looking for contributors! This is the perfect opportunity to get your work published. Maximum article length of 500 words.

Please email thenutter@cusu.cam.ac.uk for more information, or post a question in this forum.

I'm a student at Winchester, and would be interested into contributing. What are you looking for - opinion pieces, or short "quickies"?

Some pointers as to what you want would be nice.

Do you want jokes? Funny short stories? Articles about trying to be funny? Reviews of comedy? All of the above? Something else entirely?

Don't ask for much, do I?

Thanks

Great, thanks for the clarification. Is there any upcoming deadline for this i.e. when are you looking to get out your first issue?

Hi Bren,

Thanks for your question. The deadline for the upcoming issue is the 30th of September.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hey guys,

Here is an idea for articles that we want.

1. Univeristy student survival guides: e.g. budgeting, meeting deadlines, transport, accomodation, dating, cooking etc. obviously all written in a funny satircal style.

2. Satircal University Encyclopedia : basically just take a well know aspect of univeristy life and make a satircal mock encylopedia definition of it. e.g halls, pre-drinks, freshers, societies, student union etc

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
