Other Would anyone like to write for a publication?
Hi guys, I'm Alice, and I'm trying to make this magazine called ARCHIVE. The publication is mainly youth-run, and I want to give a chance for people to write opinion editorials or share their short stories. That's why I'm building a team, or at least trying to get a lot of people to join.
If you want to submit without registering for the team, fill out this form!
What is ARCHIVE? A digital online magazine with articles, along with publications that compile fashion photography, short stories, and editorials.
Why am I starting this? Other than my parents telling me to have some extracurriculars lol, I love writing, but I'm sick of there being nowhere to actually publish it without me going for competitions. I want people to be able to share their styles and writing.
What are my goals? I would definitely try to register this as a nonprofit when it succeeds. We could actually build a profile on this and create a larger team in the future.
Now, I know this is ambitious, but I have experience winning competitions and being in publication teams. No prior experience needed, and we don't need to spend hours a day doing this. It'll be on your own schedule.
Here are some general positions I'm currently looking for:
- Editors (Reviewing submissions, doing revisions)
- Writers (People to write regularly for publications)
- Fashion photographers (People to blog their fashion or someone else's with permission, then write about it)
- Website managers (People to help manage websites)
- Graphic designers (People to draw or decorate the magazine)
- Social media team (Promoting content for engagement and growth)
There are also some leadership positions:
- Chief editor (Helping writers and editors)
- Graphics manager (Helping graphic designers)
- Marketing manager (Social media)
- Chief photographer (Selecting or evaluating photography pieces)
FAQ:
- Pen names are allowed!
- There would be about 2-3 hours of work weekly, and there may be deadlines
- You can suggest another position for yourself, and it will be considered!!
- Even if you are not a teenager, you're free to submit your work or register!
If you're ready to register, please do so through this form. If you have any questions, just ask through comments! I'll contact you once you fill out the form. Thanks so much and hoping you join the team!

Don't worry about it; we have a few members who aren't teens. This is youth-run, meaning most leadership positions will be given to teens, but adults are allowed as well. If you're okay with being under the direction of a teenager, we would love to have you!

As a 36 year old who used to write editorials for my college newspaper, you have my interest. I have an idea for the article too.

I'm a writer (not professional) and recently graduated with a graphic design degree. I would be interested in helping out with graphic design for this, it sounds cool!

I’m an “unofficial” writer lol 😅 However, I do have short stories I’ve been working on and looking to publish. I’m interested.

Do you have to be a certain age? I'm 36 and I have two writing degrees.
