Student
Writers - Research, Write, Rant & Rail
We are looking
for college student writers and recent graduates who are
interesting in getting published. We are willing to help, coach
and edit the work. We ask that writers tell us what they would like
to write about before they start. We are not offering pay, but
we will provide credit and a link back to the writer's home page.
We want you to express yourself about the things you know and the
things that interest you. Go ahead, write something about your interests,
your school, student life, your major,
your work, dating, hobbies, sports, rant or whatever. If you prefer
we can assign a story to you. For more information see the guidelines
below or to the right.

Writing Guidelines:
If you are
interested in getting published on StudentNow.Com, please carefully
read the following:
There are
generally two ways that articles originate at StudentNow.Com College
Life:
(1) A writer
submits an idea about something in which the writer has an interest
and/or experience. We are looking for writers with an active interest
in their world, that includes majors, music, movies, hobbies, travel,
sports, school issues, dating and more. We will take into account
whether or not the material would be of interest to college & university
students. Being passionate about your subject matter is a plus.
Don't be afraid to suggest something.
(2) If a writer
prefers, we will also make assignments based on the strengths and
experience of the writer.
To make a
submission:
(1) Use the
form below to tell us about your idea in a few sentences. Also tell
us why you think you are qualified to write the story (don't worry,
we are mainly looking for interest or passion about the subject).
If you intend to interview or cite sources, please let use know
about them. If you do not have a specific idea we are happy to assign
one.
(2) Tell us
a bit about yourself: What school are you in or have recently graduated:
What is/was your major and key areas or study: What are your special
interests: What is your age: What if any writing experience you
have:
(3) Do not send
finished articles yet. We will only read queries of the above format.
(4) We will
review your query. We may make suggestions or we may approve the
story. If we have approved an approach for a story we expect:
(a) The story
to be written based or personal experience, quotes or sources.

a license to publish and display material.
(g) Currently we offer writers a link back to their personal homepage
or resume, providing that the material on the homepage is not offensive,
pornographic, racist, sexists, or hateful.

and readability.
