Looking For Members Interested in Writing Articles!
Posted: Sun Jul 02, 2017 3:13 pm
Are you interesting in writing? Want to share your expertise with the Northwest Fishing Reports community? We’d like to publish you! We even pay for some articles and are always looking for staff writers.
General NWFR article guidelines:
1.) Great content: How-to, How not-to, Gear Reviews, Places to Go, etc. Anything fishing related!
2.) Well written, proof-read, and decent grammar. Target 750 to 1500 words depending on topic.
3.) Several good quality support photos with captions. 1000 x 800 px (or slightly less than 1 MB) is about right. Don't send larger photos unless requested. No embedded or photo sharing site links – send pictures in separate files with notation on where in the article they should go. Please clearly name and match photos to captions.
4) Finally, keep in mind that if we publish you on NWFR, you are agreeing to give NWFR First Electronic Rights with Rights for NWFR to keep the article in our database in perpetuity. You still retain your creative rights and the right to publish elsewhere. We retain the right to keep the article on our sites permanently. First Electronic Rights are the right to be the first to publish any content on the Internet, via e-mail, as a downloadable file or program, on CD or tape, etc. In other words, if you offer an article to post on NWFR you can’t also have another site, magazine, publisher, etc publish the article until at least one month after it is shown on NWFR media.
These rights are very standard in the industry and are designed to protect both writer and publisher. By sending us anything, it is with the understanding that you have read and understand these rights as posted here.
What's in it for you?
We pay $50 to start for well-written, great-topic articles. We reserve the right to pay for your article or not. Because we’re a small business we don’t have the ability to pay rates that larger print media outlets can pay. We provide our members an avenue to hone their writing skills and gain the experience and resume building that will allow them to fine tune their craft.
Unfortunately, we can't use everything, so don't get discouraged if we don't accept your initial submission or if you're not offered reimbursement for your article. In addition/or instead of monetary reimbursement we may give free fishing gear.
If you're a really hard-working, great writer, with a niche in the outdoor fishing world, you may even qualify for our writing staff. For most, getting published is the first step though. As a staff member, this means more pay for articles, free sample gear (when available), possible inclusion in our video filming, and more exposure on the Pacific Northwest’s largest member driven reports web site—NorthwestFishingReports.com. In other words, it could be the start of a long and mutually beneficial relationship with NWFR!
You can email [email protected] to inquire about submitting an article. Get started writing today!
Thanks!
