Questions

Everything you need to know about sharing your story with us

How do I submit?

Send us your story through the submission form on this page. We read everything that comes in. If it fits what we're building, we'll be in touch.

What stories do you want?

We're looking for dispatches from the neighborhoods—real moments that show how the festival moves through Philadelphia. Wellness, food, culture, travel, sports. If it happened here, we want to hear it.

Can I pitch an idea?

Absolutely. Tell us what you're thinking. We work with residents, businesses, and visitors who see something worth sharing. Bring your angle and we'll figure out the rest together.

When will I hear back?

We review submissions weekly. If we're interested, expect to hear from us within two weeks. No response means it wasn't the right fit this time, but keep watching—we're always looking.

Do you pay writers?

We do. Rates depend on the piece and your experience. Reach out with your story and we'll talk numbers. This work matters and we compensate accordingly.
