CALL FOR PITCHES
Hello Flathead Valley Creatives!
GoLocal is our quirky publication where we can show off all of the talent and know-how wrapped up in this beautiful corner of the world. Artists and creatives, entrepreneurs, community leaders, friends and neighbors, and strangers, we want to hear from you!
We are currently accepting pitches and submissions for our re-launch issue slated for June of 2025!
We accept submissions of cool things you’ve already written, drawn, created, or otherwise envisioned.
We also accept pitches if you have an idea you’d like to write for us!
Please send all submissions to info@golocalflathead.com
The topic categories we’re featuring in this issue are
-
Adventure & Outdoors
-
Shopping, Dining, Entertainment
-
Arts & Culture
-
Community involvement
These apply to any of the piece structures, and if you’re not sure where your idea fits, send it to us anyway!
As far as size and shape, here’s what we’re working with:
A Feature Essay should be 1500 words or longer, with space for some imagery or visual components. Explore a topic in depth by way of story. Think of featuring someone fantastic, or seeking to understand a facet of life here that you think deserves attention.
A Story is a shorter piece around 400-800 words, also exploratory in nature. These work well for discussing ideas and experiences that color your Flathead Valley life.
An Interview piece should be 400-800 words in length, in a question-and-answer style to highlight the take of the featured person
We are also open to pieces that may be experimental, satirical, or humorous in nature, as well as artistic submissions of any kind, as long as it can be scanned and printed!
We wanna see what you’ve got ! Don’t be shy- email us at info@golocalflathead.com
Your pitch can be as simple as a single paragraph description of your idea. If you haven’t written for Go Local in the past, please also include a writing sample, either a published piece or something you’ve written for yourself to give us an idea of your style.
Pitches that are self-promotional in nature may not qualify for compensation.
Accepted on spec, on a continuous rolling basis.
We’re so excited to hear what ideas you have, friends. Thank you for helping us make this local magazine become a rich reflection of the goodness, creativity, and wonder of the Flathead Valley.
