There are many opportunities to get involved with chambanamoms.com. One of them is to write for us! You do not have to be a mom or even a parent to write for us. We appreciate content from a wide range of voices.
Currently we are looking for writers who will accept an assignment on a topic or subject provided by Chambanamoms editors. All content will be locally focused. We’re always interested in story ideas you might have, too!
If you have experience in writing articles that have been published in any form, we’d love to hear from you. You will be compensated for your article commensurate with your experience and quality of work. Articles are typically in the range of 500 words, though might be longer depending on the topic.
We reserve the right to edit your submission for brevity, grammar, readability, and sometimes for meaning. If a large amount of editing is necessary, it will be returned to the author for revision. You retain the copyright to your writing, but once it’s submitted, we reserve the right to use and refer to it.
Each article will also include a photo, which the writer will need to take — a smart phone typically works fine for these purposes. The photo must be credited with an appropriate source, and must be legal to use. Be sure you include the hyperlink to the photo source so we know where to credit it. Multiple photos are great if your article is longer. If the story is about a local place, we prefer original photos of that location. For other articles, sometimes stock photos are needed and we can help.
