Community Spotlight Submissions

Each month, we include a feature article about someone who is contributing to the local community in special ways. While we usually interview selected people and write these articles ourselves, we welcome your submissions. You can write a whole article or simply let us know why you think that you or someone one you know should be put into the local Natural Awakenings Community Spotlight.

Additional Notes

• We cannot guarantee publication, and if accepted, we may not publish your piece immediately. If you would like us to keep the submission for future consideration, please let us know when submitting your article.
• Your original work will most likely be edited to fit our magazine’s style and we reserve that right. If you wish to review edits to your submission, send it at least seven days before the deadline, and be accessible for consultation.
