SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

We love ALL good stories, but we’re looking for something specific for this project. For your submission to make the cut, it will need to revolve around Creatives, Cultivators and Characters.

  • Creatives: People who see something in their mind and bring it to life in a way that demands attention. If you’re the one creating the piece for submission, this is you!

  • Cultivators: People who grow things…food, community, etc. Anything not seen as typical or normal is the path to take here. This is a good category for anyone looking to use their interview or photo essay skills.

  • Characters: Similar guidelines as creatives, but producing something tangible isn’t a requirement. Think of someone you know who is a little quirky. I’ll bet they have some good stories! Another good option for interviewers, artists, or photographers.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME?

Current state? You get a free copy of the issue your piece appears in.

Future state? We’d love to get to a point where we’re paying our contributors a stipend. We’re figuring this out as we go, but supporting out local creative community is our top priority!
