Contributing Writers Needed

We are always looking for talented and motivated people to join Coop.org as writers to share the countless cooperative – or not so cooperative – news going on around the world.  The positions available are on a volunteer basis, but you will be able to promote yourself, add link(s) to your site in your profile, gain valuable writing experience, become a leader in the cooperative space and get in on the ground floor with a start-up that has big plans!  To apply, please send us an email telling us a bit about yourself, your interest and focus within local, regional, national and/or global cooperation, and the general news stories you are interested in writing about.

The process for getting started:

• Apply here
• We will review your correspondence
• Appropriate candidates will be contacted by a Coop.org administrator
• We will then ask for one article to be written about the cooperative topic of your choice
• If approved, then you become a Contributor (all applicants will be contacted regardless of being approved or not)

Once you are approved, the steps are as follows:

• We will set you up as a Contributor on Coop.org
  • You will have a username/password and some back-end control panel access
• Once confirmed, you will be able to post your own articles under your own profile
  • This will help you promote yourself!
• We prefer at least two articles per month
  • If you can submit one a week, that would be great… more the merrier!
• The articles do not have to be any particular length, but at least a couple of paragraphs would be a likely minimum
  • Please include links in the article to sources, etc. as needed (links to other websites are a good thing for SEO/online marketing efforts)
  • Of course, always spell-check and proofread for proper grammar, etc.
• Gain article leads and stories from wherever you can
  • These can be local, statewide, regional, national or international

We look forward to your application!

Thank you,
