Mary here, engagement editor of AVLtoday. I want to let you know about an exciting new platform we’re launching.
Our goal is to help Ashevillians become the most engaged + in-the-know citizens they can be. And, I know we can’t do that alone. Which is why we’re opening up AVLtoday to you, our readers through a community-publishing platform, called Voices.
We’re going to publish reader-submitted content right on our site, then push out to our audience of over 20,000.
Here’s what we’re looking for:
- First person. Experiences about local life.
- Passion pieces. Write what you know. Are you an expert about a subject that relates to your city? Have a strong opinion about a controversial topic? Do you have a first-person story that needs to be told?
- Experiential articles. Do you have a unique job or see the city in a different way because you just moved here? Just what we’re looking for.
- Links + details to provide more context. This can include social media or in-person quotes from others.
- Photos - The more the more the better. (Video, too).
- 500 words or less. We’ll publish longer ones for sure, but try to keep those word counts down.
