CSBR welcomes all submissions that meet the above guidelines, but we may not publish all that we recieve. In selecting pieces for the series, our focus will be on publishing submissions that reflect views, experiences and topics that are less discussed, publicized and circulated in mainstream and social media. The editorial team maintains the right to edit written and audio submissions for purposes of clarity, and will liaise with contributors when this is needed.
