Current Needs: We are especially looking for articles about little known women in history, unexplored women-in-the-news, consumer stories/advice for women (i.e., real-life experiences of shoppers in a purchasing/refunding/returning situation, or products that turn out to be either big duds or unexpectedly fabulous. Also, investigative pieces about your community, including why certain news is or isn't being reported; interesting pieces on women in your community who have shown bravery and courage against the odds, or women who are the 'unsung heroes' of your community. Anything quirky or creative that you would like to write about that inspires or encourages or gives pause for thought is welcome. Sports, education and articles that focus on women around the world are also welcome. Please read their guidelines for submission instructions.
Pay: Pays flat fee of $25 per article.
Hints: The Women's Independent Press has many goals. We are an ambitious and diverse group of women who strongly believe that women need their own mainstream news and information venue, forgoing the same old, tired subjects of fad dieting, make-up and hair and beauty 'news,' how to get/please/keep a man, etc. There are enough forums for that 'information.' Our mission is to offer our readers a different newspaper experience. 'Informing Women About Our World.'
Photos/Art: Photos and artwork welcome.
