We are looking for submissions!

We are looking for Submissions!!  The Italian Californian aspires to be the e-magazine of the lifestyle and experience of Italian-Americans in California and to become a major voice and advocate for the Italian-American community in the Golden State and beyond! Specific sections will include Politics & Government, Business & Economics, Food/ La Cucina, Education, Art & Entertainment, Sports, Editorial/Opinion, and more. Our News section will be divided by region and so we are also looking for regular contributors/correspondents, particularly in our areas of interest like the Bay Area, Sacramento, LA, and San Diego. We would also enjoy any news or story ideas from the Inland Empire (Riverside & San Bernardino counties) and other less known parts of California.  All works must be the original work of the author or must provide The Italian Californian with a written consent form from the author or subject(s) of the article and photograph. Unless stipulated in a written contract, The Italian Californian uses standard publishing rights to articles and photographs and we do except simultaneous submissions. We reserve the right to edit submissions for grammar, content, and size. We can not offer any financial compensation, but can offer free publicity/advertising, exposure, and byline. E-mail submissions and photos to cforte844@gmail.com. Any and all photos accompanying written submissions must include the proper releases (model release for photos with uniquely identifiable persons and property releases for photos with uniquely identifiable property/buildings.) If you have any questions or just want more information, contact Chris Forte at cforte844@gmail.com.We look forward to hearing from and working with you! Grazie!
