Beginning next month, North Branford Patch will be making room for local bloggers on the site. Whether it's food, family, schools, government, business, social issues, exercise, fashion or business— if it's your thing, we'd like you to consider blogging for Patch. Anyone may apply.

Patch is more than a news site, it's an online conversation about your community.

• Are you passionate about North Branford?
• Are you an expert craftsman or hobbyist who can share do-it-yourself tips?
• Do you have strong opinions about local government?
• Can you just make us all laugh?
• Can you write compellingly?

Then, we want to hear from you.

This isn't a reporting job. It's blogging. You write what you want to say when you want to say it. Do it on your schedule, whether that's posting multiple entries per day or a couple times a month.

Patch bloggers are not paid and will own their blogs, so if you are already blogging and want to share with our readers, too, let us know. This is a chance to share your expertise and opinions with a wider audience! 

Be interesting. Be provocative. Be yourself.

My role as editor would be to review blog entries submitted to North Branford Patch to ensure quality. I may make small spelling, grammatical and stylistic changes to help your blog shine. 

If you'd like to chat about the opportunity to share your unique voice with our readers, let me know by emailing jenn.mcculloch@patch.com or by calling me at 203-517-7541.
