Are you a top writer?
Republik City News is a news platform that allows journalists and bloggers the opportunity to get their voices heard and read, and for them to also be able to take home the revenue their articles generate over their lifetime.
We are always looking for strong passionate writers who are motivated to develop and write engaging content.
Our primary goal is to deliver quality content. If you feel that you’re up for the task, please read this information. It will greatly improve your chances of being accepted into our contributors’ program.
Who Should Apply?
You should! (Unless you are a spammer)
Our authors range from experienced writers to first-timers. As our process includes editorial oversight, we can be a great place to publish your first piece.
We’re primarily wanting writers who are looking for exposure for their writings and/or an opportunity to get real-world experience.
We are looking for reporters, journalists, and writers who can produce in-depth premium content with expert knowledge in one or more of RCN’s featured categories.
What Kind Of Articles Do We Publish?
We publish articles written by people who work on the web, for people who work on the web. These include:
- News Articles: This one is self-explanatory. Anything trending on the world wide web or breaking news would apply here. News articles could cover any category and topics that we cover on our site.
- Viral News Stories: Stories that are going viral and have created great discussion among those who have seen or heard about the story.
- Music, Film, and Video Games Reviews.
- List posts.
- Original News Stories: You’re the reporter. You’ve discovered this bit of news, so why not report it on our site? Let your creativity and freedom of expression run wild with these kinds of pieces.
- Op-Ed News Articles: These kinds of articles are the backbone of what Republik City News is all about. We love for our writers to share their opinion or “twist”, as we like to call it, on a wide variety of subjects that are near to them. These kinds of pieces are specially created to form some sort of dialog and feedback with our readers. Whether good or bad feedback is given, creating discussion is critical with these kinds of articles.
What Do We Not Publish?
We work with individual authors. Real people that our readers can reach out to if needed. We will immediately reject your application submitted on behalf of your CEO or a nameless member of your team. If your CEO would like to write for us, great! Send them this page and they can make contact in the same way as everyone else.
We do not publish articles that are an obvious attempt at content marketing. While your experience in your company and with your product is valuable, pieces full of links to your product, or which are a walkthrough of how to use your application will be rejected.
We are also not interested in SEO companies, content producers, or anyone trying to link-bait using our site for guest posting and articles that are not related to our core audience. We’re looking for actual journalists and bloggers.
Sponsored Posts
We do have sponsored post options for companies who would like to increase their visibility while sponsoring great content. Again, this is not a way to post an advert, rather a way for you to put your name to some great content for our readers. Examples might be a company with a web performance tool sponsoring a series of articles about performance; an email service sponsoring an article about email design. Contact us if you would like to discuss this.
What Will We Ask Of You?
When we give your outline the green light and ask you to write an article we ask that:
- The article is an original piece of work for Republik City News, not something you have published elsewhere.
- You will work with the editor assigned to you, and be open to their feedback.
- You will establish a timeline for delivery with your editor, and if you realize you will miss a deadline, communicate with them.
- You commit to our publishing policy, this is especially important to consider if you are writing about something learned while working on your own products. You can always ask your editor if anything is unclear.
What Will Republik City News Do For You?
Creating great content is a two-way process:
- We will pay you promptly for the publication of your article.
- We have lovely, experienced editors and reviewers with specific knowledge in the subjects we cover. They will help ensure your article really hits the mark.
- We give you a byline with your photograph and biography, so readers can find out more about you and your work.
- We will promote your article on Twitter and on all our other channels.
We have a full guide to our writing process here, we aim to create a great experience for authors and to help you publish your best work with us.
Experience is a valuable commodity. If you’re looking to become a full-time journalist or freelancer, we’ll give you a great launching pad and invaluable experience in the article creation process. We’ll teach you how to use one of the most popular publishing programs, and how to adhere to best practices for online media creation.
The opportunities that are available for our writers are directly tied to the level of commitment that a writer demonstrates for our site. Current and past contributors have had opportunities to interview celebrities and gain access to red carpet events. We’ve even had contributors move on to start their own foundations and their own websites after using us as a launching pad.
Ok, I’m interested. How do I start?
