The RowingVoice was founded in 2007 by rowing journalists Christopher Dodd and Rachel Quarrell, after the success of the Eton Mess, their Worlds 2006 news-sheet. We aim to bring you the best in rowing coverage, centred on the UK but with an eye on global rowing news, and an independent editorial voice. It is an online magazine, but designed so that it can easily be printed out for offline reading. Our issue dates are approximately every 6-8 weeks during the British winter, and more frequently in the summer. In 2008 we will be providing coverage from each of the Rowing World Cups as well as UK domestic news and features throughout the year. During the Beijing Olympics we brought out a supplement almost every day, plus an extra Paralympic preview.

Christopher Dodd has a long career in journalism (including at the Guardian and as editor of Regatta Magazine) and is currently rowing correspondent for the Independent, rowing curator at the River and Rowing Museum, and a regular contributor to many rowing publications. He is also author of several books including the recent Water Boiling Aft, a history of the first 150 years of London Rowing Club.

Rachel Quarrell has written for Regatta Magazine, the Independent, Rowing News, and is now rowing correspondent for the Telegraph. She founded the Rowing Service website (one of the first rowing sites on the web) in 1994 and is a chemistry lecturer at Oxford University.

Zoe de Toledo (under-23 world champion cox) and David Locke (Oxford bumps senior umpire) are the two new editorial assistants for the Rowing Voice.

With regular contributions from Mike Haggerty, Peter Spurrier, Paul Azzopardi, Ruben Reggiani and Martin Cross.
