Contribute to The Soop!

Good content is hard to find. There are several good writers and editors out there who have volunteered their time and effort to make The Soop possible. They wrote and edited these articles, columns, reviews and interviews with no compensation. This publication wouldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for their help.

Although we can’t guarantee to publish all submissions that we receive, we try to ensure the best of them do. We encourage and showcase the new voices of writers. To this end, contributions from new writers are particularly welcomed and encouraged.

The Soop is a site that covers art, culture, fashion, lifestyle, music and trends. We are not trying to take over any news sites that are out there. More to give a voice to the local arts, the cool, the hip, the trendsetters, movers and shakers, but most of all to help grow the community.

You’re probably wondering what type of subjects we are looking for.

• Please check your idea(s) with us first before starting anything. We don’t want you to waste your time on something.
• You can contribute to any of the categories that are listed on our site.
• We LOVE wit and sarcasm.
• Humorous articles are particularly encouraged.
• We like articles on pop culture.
• Articles that profile interesting individuals.
• Current trends.
• Event coverage.
• Photo’s from local or national events.
• Word length:
  • For articles a good length should be between 1,000 to 4,000.
  • For reviews a good length should be between 500 to 3,000.
  • Don’t worry too much about fitting the figures, they are nearly guidelines.
• If you mention statistics, quotes or facts, please provide reference! ( We can’t stress that enough. )

How:

• After confirming your idea with us, email the article to the address provided within the confirmation email. Please email the article in an attachment (e.g. .doc, .txt, .rtf, Word, etc).
• You must include a short description about yourself at the bottom of the article. This can be serious or silly; it’s just nice to know about who’s writing, and if you can get a chuckle or a wry comment out of it, more the better. You can include any web links or projects you might want to promote.
• You can use a pseudonym or nickname if you prefer but please let us know what name you wish the article to be published under.
