Help us tell a unique Sarasota story

Our editorial team is looking for Sarasota centered stories in the following categories.

• Technology
• Entertainment
• Arts
• Culture

Submissions do not need to be focused purely on Sarasota, but they should have some tie back to the local community.

What we are looking for

• Storylines which are connected to our region, but relevant to a larger national audience.
• Stories that showcase Sarasota, but also highlight issues which are relevant to other similar sized communities.
• High quality multimedia content (Video, audio, written, visual art, podcasts, reviews, etc.)
• Expert op-ed pieces that fall inside one of the categories above.

What we are not looking for

• Advertorial or self promotional content
• Obscene or sexually explicit content
• Storylines which are not directly relatable back to Sarasota or which fall outside of the four major categories listed above

Our audience

• Averages 80K+ people a month (as high as 250K) and is growing steadily
• Is almost evenly split between male and female
• Is primarily between the ages of 25-44
