Calling All Bored English Majors!
Afternoon, everybody! Your friendly neighborhood Managing Editor here once again with an invitation for each and every one of you:
Come write with us! And, if you’re so inclined, come edit our pieces!
First off, we’re looking for a few dedicated editorial assistants. If you’re a word nerd and have a couple hours a week to devote to making sure our subjects agree with our verbs, we’d love to have you on board. There might even be free entry to TNG events in it for you. Plus, there’s the satisfaction of knowing you’re actively contributing to making the world a typo-free place.
Did the thought of that make you so happy that maybe you teared up a little? Perfect! Email me at Rocky@thenewgay.net for more details.
That said, however, a major goal of TNG is to expand the narrow mainstream definition of what it means to be queer by providing a forum for you to share your diverse ideas, events, and interests. Even if you don’t write like a legend or live a particularly eccentric life, we’re all a part of the same community and we want to hear from you!
If there is something you are interested in that’s not on the site, that doesn’t mean we don’t want it. Quite the opposite, in fact. We want it even more. We love new types of content and varied perspectives. Maybe you’ll even find a few new friends that share your interests that you may never have otherwise. We all have so much to learn from one another! So don’t be shy. Come join the conversation!
Ideas - So… Are you a political junkie? A rabid Monday morning quarterback? An amateur historian? We want to hear your voice! Do you have a piece of entertaining short fiction, a thoughtful essay, an interesting personal story, or just a couple of paragraphs on a thought or experience you had while riding the Metro/shaving your cat/disposing of the body? Submit it!
Events – Got an interesting event you want to promote that extends your social life beyond a couple of prominent gay bars? Let TNG know about it!
Culture - Do you like to write about postmodern art? New Wave cinema? Hungarian folk/underground hip-hop/classic country, etc.? Do you have a great photograph or collection of photos that you want to show everybody? We want it! Send your submissions any time, day or night, to submit@thenewgay.net.
We’re looking forward to hearing from you!
First time here? See what we're all about... Get involved... Send us a tip!...
