Every issue of Inky Trail News is full of articles written by readers. We love to publish your articles and you make Inky Trail News what it is!
We are a small friendship newspaper and can't pay writers -- but we do provide a complimentary six-month subscription (or extension to your subscription) for your published article (approx 600 words = l/2 tabloid sized page). We will give you 1-2 issues for shorter articles and stories.
We prefer e-mailed stories and articles, but we also accept typewritten articles and
handwritten ones, if legible. Thanks!
I hope to hear from you!
Wendy, editor, Inky Trail News
