I'm looking to bring on a few good bloggers to create content for the real estate blog I manage, blog.philadelphiarealestate.com.

Here's what we are looking for:

We need contributors who can write about developments affecting development and real estate in Philadelphia, especially in the neighborhoods of Center City and adjacent areas:

Avenue of the Arts
Art Museum Area
Bella Vista
Callowhill Loft District
Chinatown
Fairmount/Francisville
Fishtown
Fitler Square
Graduate Hospital
Logan Square/Franklin Town
Newbold
Northern Liberties
Old City
Passyunk Square
Pennsport
Point Breeze
Queen Village
Rittenhouse Square
Society Hill
Southwark
Southwest Center City
Spring Garden
University City
Washington Square West

Ideally, our contributors should be able to attend things like civic association meetings, Zoning Board of Adjustment hearings, and community forums when such events include discussions of development, zoning or construction issues. We also want contributors who can write about subjects like architectural history – the stories behind interesting buildings in the city – or community activities and attributes – Home and School Association activities, community fairs or festivals, stories about community institutions or traditions. And we want people who can write clearly and engagingly about issues related to the buying and selling of homes: mortgages, market trends, tips for homeowners planning to sell or people planning to buy, and so on.

Here's what we expect from our contributors:

You should be able to contribute four short items (300 to 400 words each) on topics like these each week, accompanied by at least one photo or graphic. If you're good with a camera, so much the better, but we will also accept photos from sources (e.g., developers, real estate firms, public bodies, or images that can be used freely for commercial purposes).

Here's what you will get from us:

We will give you editorial feedback if stories need additional content or revision. You will receive $20 for each published blog post.

If you have any questions about any of this, please ask away! Email sandy@phillyliving.com with your questions.
