New youth magazine to launch in North Solihull

A NEW magazine with a difference is being launched in North Solihull
Hybrid’s slogan is “by young people, for young people”, with the articles and features provided by local students.
In the first edition there are articles offering advice to job hunters, suggestions for school leavers and a “survival guide” for people going to their first music festival.
Also inside is a piece of creative writing by Siana-Rose Crawford, a Chelmsley Wood teenager and former CTC pupil who has recently published her first novel.
The quarterly title, which will be available at local schools, youth centres and other facilities, is run by the Ashram Housing Association. It is hoped that future issues will feature photography, poetry and even illustrations submitted by the hungry young newsteam.
Hybrid is edited by former journalist Simeon Bright, who previously ran S.L Magazine - a youth magazine with content provided by local sixth formers.
The magazine has its official launch at the Bosworth Community Centre on Monday evening (May 12).
If you would like to get involved in the project, email simeon.bright@ashramha.org.uk or tweet @hybrid_mag
