It is a collective of stories, interviews, art, music and film that all tie in with the magazine's overall motif of people connecting with the ocean, whether it be through surfing, sailing, fishing or by simply appreciating its existence. What kind of stories will it feature? The core of Sea Stoke is the stories told from those who have made their lives in or near the sea and reflect a range of ex
periences from around the world. Sea Stoke will also feature stories that shed light on environmental issues and those with a humanitarian focus in order to support individuals and organisations who are dedicated to these causes. Will the stories appeal to everyone? The stories will engage readers who value learning from the experiences of others, as they aim to be universally applicable and timeless, so that their messages may transcend across a broad audience and maintain their relevance, regardless of the social or historical context in which they are read. How else will Sea Stoke differ from other publications? Taking advantage of its online presence, Sea Stoke aims to leave a lasting impression on the audience through its unique mix of stories, interviews, art and its capacity to feature videos and music from contributors. Contrary to other mainstream magazines that have a tendency to focus on celebrity figures, it will provide a valued place for the stories of ‘everyday’ people. Who will contribute and how will it be put together? Contributions will be sourced locally, nationally and from abroad so that it is consistently thought-provoking and presents different voices, perspectives and styles through its content. Contributions will be directed to the artistic director and editor, who will be responsible for administrating all content, which are [email protected] and [email protected], respectively.
