Have a story you’d like to see here?
Well, then, send it along!
We encourage submissions of all types, but here are some suggestions:
1) Focus on environmental news, Green Man themes and legends, wilderness backpacking adventures you’ve had, great photographs you’ve taken, or events coming to your area that are interesting or that deserve promotion.
2) Short is good: under 500 words, 6 photographs or less (500 pixel width is perfect).
3) Submitting a blog article from your own site is fine, but try to make it a stand-alone article. In other words, readers should be able to grasp the essential story without knowing anything about your blog (but we’ll be glad to post a link back to it).
4) Don’t be discouraged if we don’t feature your piece. Chances are high we will, though.
5) Tell us a little about yourself so we can preface the article with something about you: your name, where you live, things you like. Naturally, you don’t want to bare your soul (this IS the internet, after all; things go around the world here in nanoseconds), but readers like to know who is doing the writing.
Do these things and you’ll see your piece in lights, or something like that.
Here are some downers, though:
A) Political rants: we’ll leave these to the pundits.
B) Obscenity: we like a clean environment.
C) Plagiarism: your own photographs are best by far, and if you quote or use information from another source please cite it.
So how to send it to us? Easy. Use our email: greenman@greenmanblog.com
Attach your article and photographs, and we’ll put it all together and post it!
