Now accepting ads and submissions for the July issue. Deadline: June 16, 2023
TATTLER Submissions are now accepted online ONLY!
We hope you like the changes we’ve made to the Tattler. We hope to provide quality content for years to come, but we don’t do it alone. We have dozens of submissions in every issue of the Tattler from a variety of clubs, groups, churches, our regular columnists, members of the BOT and the occasional feature writer. These submissions previously were hand-delivered, some by golf cart and some by car. Some came handprinted, sometimes in cursive. Some were hard to read. We also get emails, lots of emails. And we thank you for all of those submissions, but… we honestly need your help.
With the large number of submissions we receive every month, we have established a format that works for us long-term. We have been asking everyone to start sending their submissions through this website. Each submission requires you to click on a few drop down menus, add some basic contact info and then you have the option to drag and paste (or type) your submission. We accept document files and pictures in a variety of formats. By using the Submissions page we can collect everyone’s news easily and always have the most current contact information for your groups and clubs, which can change frequently.
We understand that computers and smartphones can be difficult for older residents. Please ask the most tech savvy among your group/club to be responsible for providing your monthly submission or training the person that does the submissions. We have tested the submissions page below and it works simply and efficiently. We do ask submissions be approximately 300 words or less for club and church news.
We will accept longer, feature articles for publication, limited to space availability and editorial approval. We prefer positive articles of interest to people in our area. We’re not interested in controversy or divisive content, political or social. We do not accept any “reviews” or press releases that would qualify as paid advertising. Press releases for benefits, charity and non-profits will be considered based on available space and timeliness.
Yes, you can send us pictures of your events and activities. Remember to submit a caption where you should include the names of those in the picture from left to right, standing, sitting, etc. and also the activity/group pictured in your photos.
The Tattler staff thanks you for ALL of your submissions and look forward to seeing what you send us for the next issue! (Having difficulties? Email us at tattlermedia@gmail.com)
