Become a Contributor for UrbanMatter!

Have something Windy City related you’d like to write about? Become a Contributor for UrbanMatter and broadcast your voice to Chicago.

 

Our Goal

We’ve sat in the background for years watching big corporations and nationally acclaimed sites tell you what’s going on in the city. While those sites do a nice job, they’re missing a vital element, the actual personal experience. Our goal is to show readers the real side of the Windy City without all of the generic info you can get from everywhere else.

What We Seek

We’re looking for motivated, intelligent Chicagoans who know a little something about the city. We don’t need you to be an expert on all things Chicago, but we do need you to be knowledgeable on the subjects you’re discussing. Obviously, we’re looking for talented writers, but a passion for the city is just as important to us.

We love Chicago, and we want you to love it too.
