Write for TLT

Do you LOVE your city? Do you want to tell the world? Then you could be a Contributor on The Local Tourist.

We're looking for writers to post about things to do, places to go, and people to meet in Chicago. If you've got a conversational voice and are passionate about this city, you just may find a spot on the TLTeam. 

All we ask for is two posts a month. In return you'll be in the know, and you'll even get first access to exclusive media events, like theater premieres, dinners at top restaurants, and entry into cool events. 

We even offer revenue sharing! You'll get paid for traffic to your blog posts, photos, and even your profile page! It's our way of saying "Thank YOU" and recognizing you for the work you do.

Thanks, and hope to see you on TLT!
