Contribute

Women’s Web welcomes contributions from readers! At the moment, these are the kinds of writing we are looking for: 

Personal stories on relationships

- We’re looking to launch our Relationships section with interesting, thought-provoking personal stories from women as well as men. If you have a story you’d like to write about for us, send in a pitch to editor@womensweb.in. The topic is broad and could potentially cover a wide variety of stories – troubled parent-child relationships, a difficult time with an adolescent, an inspiring grandparent, the end of a marriage – your story could be of any relationship; all we ask is that you tell it interestingly (and stories must be relevant to an Indian audience).

Please include a writing sample (anything relevant you’ve written before; need not be published) along with your e-mail.

Book Reviewers

- Book must be available in the Indian market

- Preferably new releases (last 2 months) although interesting takes on oldies will also be considered. Feminist takes welcome.

- Reviews between 400 and 800 words

- Can be fiction or non-fiction; If fiction, would prefer either a female author or strong/interesting female characters. If non-fiction, we prefer books relevant to an Indian audience but topics can be varied – business, politics, motherhood, gender, environment, self-help etc. Prefer reviews of ‘accessible’ rather than academic books.

Feature writers with subject expertise

We are NOT at the moment looking for general feature writers; however, if you have some expertise in a particular topic, feel free to pitch us an idea. For e.g. entrepreneurs are welcome to talk about business challenges, doctors can write about health issues relevant to women, HR experts on workplace issues, Moms (and Dads) on parenting issues and so on. We will take a call on a case to case basis depending on how relevant a topic is at a given time and the quality of your writing. Enquiries accompanied by a feature idea and a previous writing sample will be given preference over general enquiries.

Bloggers

We welcome bloggers on a regular as well as occasional basis. Currently, posts on our blog revolve around social and women’s issues, parenting, relationships and career issues. Other ideas welcome too.

Founders/Employees of NGOs/non-profit/social organisations

Our Field Notes section is dedicated to covering social issues and the experiences of those working in the social sector. If you work in this field and have an issue/story/article you want to share, do contact us.

Feature articles are paid for on a case-to-case basis. Other writing such as reviews, blog posts or field notes are not currently paid for, but you’re assured of a wide readership plus a link to your blog/website. Writing must be original and we’d prefer if you don’t use the same piece elsewhere.

All enquiries to editor AT womensweb DOT in with ‘Writing Enquiry’ in the subject line.
