Patch Seeking Local Voices, Bloggers, Columns

Got something to say? Always wanted to write? Want your very own column? Patch is looking for bloggers! Share your words with our readers.

Monrovia Patch features articles written by local journalists, but we're also looking for local bloggers to share their stories, opinions and expertise with our readers. Think you've got what it takes?

Are you...

  • Looking for a place to publish your opinions... somewhere that has a large local readership?
  • Interested in spreading the word about your cause or organization?
  • Campaigning for office, and want to get the word out?
  • An artist, craftsman, musician or hobbyist that wants to write about your process?
  • A student looking for exposure for your writing?
  • Someone who has strong opinions about City Hall happenings?
  • Looking to make people laugh?
  • Passionate about the future of Monrovia?
  • Passionate about Monrovia schools?
  • A compelling writer?

Then we want to add your voice to Patch.

No experience? No problem. Blogging is different than a reporting gig. You can write about what you want, when you want. Post every day, every week, once a month, or once every moon cycle.

Patch won't own what you write, so you can use your entries for any other blogs or publications you desire. We are part of the Huffington Post Media Group though, so we might be able to post your blog for a national audience. 

Are you intrigued yet?

We've had some wonderful local voices use our site to talk about...just about everything. From parenting to the arts, local issues, home renovations and hiking, our bloggers have used Patch to reach a wide audience and make their voice heard.

It's really, really easy. If you can post a comment on this site, you can post a blog. I won't be editing your blogs or asking for revisions. I'll look it over once for grammar & spelling, then post it for everyone to see- right on the homepage!

To get started on your first blog, please e-mail me, Nathan, ASAP at nathan.mcintire@patch.com. I'll answer all your questions and help you sign on!

Be interesting. Be provocative. Be yourself. Share your voice with Monrovia.

The street fair the day before had more going on than Monrovia Day. I'm 21 and even I remember backRead More when everyone used to look forward to the days long celebration, it really is a shame.

I agree Bill. Enough snippin' and tail bitin' and finger pointin'...I do find it amusing to thinkRead More what would happen if people who wanted to have a parade/carnival just made it happen. Let's make a parade and carnival, not war.
Bill C. May 20, 2013 at 05:24 pm
The reason the carnival went away was because some in power thought gangsters and some rowdyRead More elements at the carnival made the atmosphere a little to uninviting at times, that was nonsense. When they got out of hand they were kicked out or went to jail. It was ridiculous to end the carnival and to stop the parade based on financing could have been avoided if the problem of financing would have been attacked early enough. Or are people going to tell me there's not enough people in Monrovia willing to give their time, talent and money to make it happen? I grew up in town, haven't lived in Monrovia in a long time but am still one that would assist in seeing the parade and carnival return. As for the cost for police and city employees to work it maybe if they were approached and told it would have to be on a comp time basis only, not pay, they'd be willing to do so. That wouldn't result in some big unfunded liability as you're only talking about an event that's four days at most. This could happen, just takes time, effort and some willingness of people to co-operate with each other to get it done.

Who was that face painter? She was really good with the kids, even the wiggly ones. She also wasRead More giving away little handmaid mermaids. Some of the stuff at the celebration was cool. I think next year the city council should be the dunkees for the dunk booth.

A California city will never prevail in a lawsuit against the STATE. All CA. cities must merge toRead More sue in mass under Federal RICO laws while we still have Federal laws. Filing alone at the State level is useless. Wake up people.
