The Phoenix -- Retro Website

How to Contribute

Whether or you want to publish your opinion, showcase your talents (art, etc.), inform others, tell us your ideas, or just support the Phoenix by spending some of your time or making a donation to defray printing costs - here's how.

1) Decide how you want to help. The Phoenix is currently looking for editorials, informational pieces, artistic contributions (visual, written, or audio), photos, monetary donations, feedback (ideas, comments on quality, etc.), interviewers, letters to the editor, and people to donate some of their time to improving the Phoenix in various other behind-the-scenes ways (e.g. polling and indexing).
For more information about each of these, see Contributions by Type.

2) Do your thing. Whatever it is you're good at, or however you want to help, don't delay... just do it!

3) Submit it. Whether it's your very idea, your creation, your dollar bill, or your offer of assistance, we have to get it before we can do anything with it. For most contributions (everything from artwork to offers of assistance), e-mail works just fine: you can reach us at staff@phsphoenix.com. For other types of contributions, and for specific e-mail submission guidelines, see Contributions by Type.

4) Pat yourself on the back - because we want to, too! We will formally thank you in different ways for different sorts of contributions (specific acknowledgements for certain contributions can be found under Contributions by Type), but unless otherwise noted, contributors (per issue) are generally acknowledged in the "Issue __ Staff" section on page 1 of each new issue. Regular contributors will also have the opportunity to join the general Phoenix staff, which involves such fabulous perks as a phsphoenix.com account, a Facebook group, and semi-regular meetings (with food, of course).

*A note on deadlines and review: Deadlines for written contributions are generally the Friday before each new issue's release. It is the perogative of the editor of the Phoenix (currently Rebecca Beilinson, a PHS junior) to screen all submitted content before it is made available to our readers. If your submission does not meet reasonable (but flexible) standards of quality (or decency!), you will be notified of that fact. Most written submissions (i.e., articles) will be sent back to the submitter if any major changes have been made; articles submitted after the regular deadline, and articles with only minor (e.g. spelling/grammar) revisions, will not be sent back after being edited.
