Community Voices

Community Voices is an op-ed, letters to the editor and neighborhood news section for community members to submit articles between 400 to 1,000 words in length. To submit your post, email editor@tcdailyplanet.net with “Community Voices Submission” in the subject line. Twin Cities Daily Planet does not pay for Community Voices submissions.

Twin Cities Daily Planet will only publish pieces that fit our mission to amplify and connect marginalized voices. Community Voices pieces should be original, Minnesota-focused content not published on other media sites, though on a blog you own yourself is acceptable.

If you’re looking for paid opportunities, we invite you to apply to be a regular contributor.
