Become a Featured Indie at Pyragraph
Are you an independent creative, small business or organization/nonprofit looking to promote your work?
Pyragraph offers promotional opportunities to select ventures via a combination of editorial coverage and display ads, for free.
We are developing a model of publishing that aligns the promotion/marketing needs of independent creatives, business and nonprofits with Pyragraph’s editorial mission: To share entertaining stories and lessons learned aimed at helping fellow indies thrive.
If you are accepted as a Featured Indie, we will give you 3 months of free advertising in exchange for 3 short blog posts. We will also offer free consulting and editorial guidance to help you refine your message and communication strategy.
Posts must fit within our editorial scope and meet our guidelines:
- Our format is first-person posts sharing entertaining stories and lessons learned from your pursuit of independent creative careers, microbusiness or community/nonprofit work. Within that format we offer wide creative freedom. Rather than traditional topic-based “objective” articles, we are looking for first-person blog posts (including photo and video content) about your experiences with your work, projects and/or career. Mentioning and promoting your shows, new releases, fundraisers and other projects is encouraged, as long as the focus of the post is on sharing experiences and information helpful to others pursuing similar work. See our Community Blogger Guidelines for more details on our format and editorial scope.
To apply, please fill out the form below. Acceptance is subject to discretion of Editors.
