Submissions & Writing

How can I submit a story, photo, or idea? 

We’d love to hear from you!
Just send us a few things to get the conversation started.

Please include:

  • Your name and what community you reside in.
  • A brief description of what you'd like to contribute.
  • Why you think this would be a good fit for Neap magazine.

Can I write for the magazine? 

We are currently looking for writers and would welcome your interest. Send us a message with details on what you’d like to contribute. We are interested in hearing from new and seasoned writers. If you've never been a published writer, this could be your chance - so don’t be shy. 

Are you a young person that enjoys writing? We'd love to have the perspectives of a variety of community members, with the approval of your parent/guardian, send us a message!

What kind of stories are you looking for? 

We're all about celebrating the good. We’re looking for stories, poems, art, and features that are hopeful, uplifting, or simply pleasant to read.

Your piece doesn’t have to be overly cheerful or sugar-coated—but it should leave readers feeling good, inspired, or a little more connected to their community.

There’s already enough negativity, hate, and divisiveness in the world. This magazine is a space for kindness, creativity, and curiosity. If your work aligns with that spirit, we’d love to see it.

Want to interview your neighbour that just seems super interesting?
Love that new sports team and want to share their win?
Can’t wait to have others learn about your new hobby?
Send us a message!

What about a small message to share? 

Are you thinking of a message in a bottle? Kind of like a community board of kind notes, but a little more lasting - since it's in print ;) If that's what you're thinking of, read all about the Message in a Bottle and send your submission.
