The Central Valley is full of stories that deserve to be told. From the vibrant nightlife and local arts scene to the critical political shifts affecting our rights, there is always something happening that needs a dedicated perspective. At LGBTQ Fresno, we believe that the best way to represent our community is to ensure that everyone has a seat at the table, or in this case, a platform to write.
We are looking for passionate volunteers to join our team as bloggers, writers, and community journalists. As the only local LGBTQ community news website, our mission is entirely focused on serving the people of Fresno and the surrounding Central Valley. When you write for us, your work becomes part of a collective effort to uplift and inform our community.
What Can You Write About?
We want to hear about the topics that matter most to you. Our platform covers a wide range of interests, and we are looking for contributors who can provide:
- Local Reviews: Whether it is a new film, a must-read book, or a performance at a local venue, your reviews help others discover the best of our culture.
- Political Commentary and Opinion: Share your thoughts on the issues and actions shaping our future in the Valley and beyond.
- Event Coverage: We regularly assign writers to cover Pride events, political actions, and charity fundraisers, giving you a front-row seat to local history.
- Nightlife and Entertainment: Highlight the performers and venues that make our community unique.
- Business Spotlights: We are particularly excited to launch a new monthly feature profiling local businesses. There are many hidden jewels in the Valley that deserve more attention, and you could be the one to tell their story.
Why Join Our Team?
Writing for LGBTQ Fresno is about more than just seeing your name in print. Because we are part of the LGBT Community Network, your articles can be published across multiple cities throughout the Central Valley, ensuring your voice reaches a broad audience.
Every writer receives a byline for their work, and regular contributors are featured on our “About Us” page. We also share all articles across our social media platforms to maximize the impact of your writing.
This is a flexible, 100% volunteer opportunity. You can submit work from your own computer on a schedule that fits your life. Whether you are an aspiring journalist looking to build a portfolio or a community member with a story to share, we provide the space for you to be heard.
