Do you live, work, or spend quality time in a neighborhood that Hoodline covers? Is there a topic you want to explore, or a story you'd like to see covered by us? Can you write?

If you said yes to any or all of the above, we’d like to talk to you about writing for Hoodline.

There’s a lot of local news to write about, and sadly not enough people doing it these days.

But we reach thousands of people in each of the 24 city neighborhoods we cover, and we've built a team and some technology to help you do great work.

Writing about your neighborhood can help connect people around you, from informing your neighbors about transportation and safety issues, to giving them a heads up about new businesses, to showcasing interesting local characters and local history.

Right now, we're looking for help in the following neighborhoods:

• Hayes Valley
• North Beach
• Polk

If you're interested in writing for us, let us know a few details about yourself, your writing interests, and what neighborhood(s) you'd like to cover, here.

There's no professional writing experience required: we'll help you with story ideas and editing. We're looking for folks with a healthy curiosity, who are able to tell a good story and manage the basics of meeting deadlines, replying to emails, and taking constructive feedback.

You can write as frequently (or infrequently) as you'd like, and we pay on a per-post basis for neighborhood writers, and a monthly stipend for neighborhood editors.
