(May 17, 2011) I am a liberal Jewish blogger and concentrate on Jewish themes. If you are interested in pitching content to me or cross-posting my content elsewhere, I ask that you browse these guidelines before contacting me.

Pitching Guidelines

• I will consider:
  • Stories, news items, and event pitches that are Jewishly themed or have relevance for a liberal Jewish audience.
  • Invitations to write content on a one-time or regular basis for other Jewishly themed websites.
  • Speaking requests and media requests for quotes on Jewish topical issues.
• I emphasize:
  • Jewish conversion journeys and content relevant to Jews-by-choice.
  • Contemporary liberal Jewish perspectives on ritual, tradition, and worship.
  • Congregational life and efforts to reach out to non-affiliated Jews.
• I reject:
  • All pitches of a commercial nature.
  • All requests to publish third-party content.
  • All requests to accept any form of paid content.
  • Pitches and requests that misspell the name of my blog.
