Contributors’ Corner

Welcome Wildfire contributor! Here you’ll find instructions for the next steps in publishing your piece.

STEP 1:
Please use the form below to submit your biography to be printed in the magazine. Although awkward, please write it in the third person. (For example, April enjoys walks on the beach in sunny Santa Cruz, California, with her family.)

STEP 2:
Please send headshots and any additional photos you’d like to share via email to monica@wildfirecommunity.org. Important: include the photographer’s name/business. Headshots can be small as we will print them thumbnail size, but any pictures we reproduce with your written piece must be at least 1MB.

STEP 3:
Finally, please complete this Consent to Publish form.

We are so excited to work with you! We will stay in touch as we continue through the production cycle. Before we go to print, we’ll share a draft with you. We’ll also let you know if we have any copy-editing questions. Feel free to let us know if you have any questions about this process. Thanks!

~April (Founder, Editor in Chief), Monica (Production Assistant), and Angela (Editor)
