Write for OP&L

OP&L is always looking for new, good, local writers.

We want coverage of local people, places, and events. We are entirely focused on Olympia (including the greater Olympia/north Thurston County area), so we are only interested in stories with a local connection. We have some story ideas, and some beats we would like covered — local arts, for example — plus we’d be happy to hear your ideas. It could be an article every issue, or an article every once in a while.

And we pay our contributors (not much, but something). Ask us for details.

We will also consider unsolicited stories, and maybe we’ll print them, but we don’t promise anything and we don’t pay for unsolicited stories.

If you’re interested in becoming a writer, please email us, tell us a bit about yourself, attach a writing sample or two along with any story ideas, and send it all to . Thanks.
