Introducing our community publishing platform
Nicole, Jen, + Justine here– a.k.a. the team behind CHStoday. We want to let you know about an exciting new platform we’re launching.
Our goal is to help Charlestonians become the most engaged + in-the-know citizens they can be. But we know we can’t do that alone– which is why we’re opening up CHStoday to you, our readers, through a community-publishing platform called Voices.
We’re going to publish reader-submitted content right on our site, then push out to our audience of over 20,000.
Here’s what we’re looking for:
First person. Experiences about local life.
Passion pieces. Write what you know. Are you an expert about a subject that relates to your city? Have a strong opinion about a controversial topic? Do you have a first-person story that needs to be told?
Experiential articles. Do you have a unique job or see the city in a different way because you just moved here? Just what we’re looking for.
Links + details to provide more context. This can include social media or in-person quotes from others.
Photos. The more the more the better. (Video, too).
500 words or less. We’ll publish longer ones for sure, but try to keep those word counts down.
You can see our already-published Voices articles here.

We look forward to hearing from you, Charleston!
