Patch Seeks Local Voices, Bloggers, Columns

Got something to say? Always wanted to write? Want your very own column? Patch is looking for bloggers! Share your words with our readers.

Patch features articles written by local journalists, but we're also looking for local bloggers to share their stories, opinions and expertise with our readers. Think you've got what it takes? Are you...
  • Looking for a place to publish your opinions... somewhere that has a large local readership?
  • Interested in spreading the word about your cause or organization?
  • Campaigning for office, and want to get the word out?
  • An artist, craftsman, musician or hobbyist that wants to write about your process?
  • A student looking for exposure for your writing?
  • Someone who has strong opinions about City Hall happenings?
  • Looking to make people laugh?
  • Passionate about the future of Studio City?
  • Passionate about Studio City schools?
  • A compelling writer?

Then we want to add your voice to Patch.

No experience? No problem. Blogging is different than a reporting gig. You can write about what you want, when you want. Post every day, every week, once a month, or once every moon cycle.

Patch won't own what you write, so you can use your entries for any other blogs or publications you desire. We are part of the Huffington Post Media Group though, so we might be able to post your blog for a national audience. 

Are you intrigued yet?

We've had some wonderful local voices use our site to talk about...just about everything. From parenting to the arts, local issues, home renovations and hiking, our bloggers have used Patch to reach a wide audience and make their voice heard.

It's really, really easy. If you can post a comment on this site, you can post a blog. I won't be editing your blogs or asking for revisions. I'll look it over once for grammar & spelling, then post it for everyone to see- right on the homepage!

To get started on your first blog, please e-mail me, Mike, ASAP at mikes@patch.com. I'll answer all your questions and help you sign on!

Be interesting. Be provocative. Be yourself. Share your voice with Studio City.

It's better if you put this in the START A BLOG area and add photos...it stays there longer!

ok. have now spent some time navigating the new patch. i hope everyone will give it a chance. it'sRead More growing on me. i think once everyone is more familiar with the new version they'll like it too.

@MikeSzymanski I must admit that I haven't been able to detect a new format. Where is the format?Read More Who designed this? All I can tell is that there is a beautiful shot of trees -- perfect! Under that banner all hell breaks lose and you can't tell what you're looking it. There might be a huge blowup of Mr. Walker or a too big notice of something official-looking -- possibly an agenda. I have not been able to navigate through all the stuff. Lots of white space on either side which gives me impression that we're tailoring a community paper more toward an iphone or smart phone (or a tablet). Maybe I need a GPS to find a good list of contents here. In the meantime, it's not very attractive (exception for the banner trees photo) nor entertaining and not very informative. Scotty Reston, where are you now that we need you?

the picture selected is nice and it well suits the page. it would be nice to see the full pic. tooRead More bad so much of it is blocked from the top portion of the content....any chance of seeing the full picture and starting the content beneath it?

I find this very disconcerting. Mel Randall who is on the Land Use Committee was asked to submit hisRead More name. We assumed qualifications would be checked and then those best suited would be chosen. Two entries of the same name is in itself so bad makes me feel that all of this should be redone.

I was at the meeting last night and saw all I need to see on how our neighborhood council work. TheyRead More had a drawing for the grievance panel. WHAT A SHAM!! They drew 1 guys name twice and rather than stop the proceedings and make sure that the names in the hat were legitimate and no other duplicates exist and redo the drawing, they just drew another name. Now it probably was just a fluke but the appearance of a rigged drawing is there and it taints the whole council and it proceedings. It is very apparent why we need a grievance panel in the first place. When the appearance of corruption exists at the lowest levels of our democratic process it is no wonder that the whole system is collapsing before our eyes. Our neighborhood council should hang their heads in shame!
