Contribute to CR
At CR, we're dedicated to good writing, thought provocation, the contribution to and advancement of debate. Whoever, whatever you are. We will not always agree with our contributors, but if their views are conveyed with delicacy and poise, a tolerance that wishes also to speak truth, then we would like to give them forum and send them out into the world
Musings is a section of first-person pieces open to columnists and aspiring or beginning writers.
biPOLar is also a first-person section for writers with Polish roots, who grew up outside of Poland. Pieces in this section should be thought-provoking and aim to promote intercultural dialogue and understanding of the richness and complexity of growing up with a hiphenated personality.
History pieces are somewhat self-explanatory, don't you think? They must be grounded in solid facts and knowledge gathered from specialists. Ideally, they should be active pieces, in the sense that the facts presented should help to explain present behavior and solutions for resolving current affairs problems related to Poland.
Features are based on thorough reporting and supported by facts.
A few words with ... is a Q & A section with a specialist or prominent personality in "things Polish" (history, art, culture, politics, current affairs...). It is a verbatim account of an interview.
Spotlight on alumni is a section featuring the works, achievements, projects and personalities of Poland in the Rockies alumni.
CR recommends ... features events and cultural products (books, magazines, plays...) the editorial team believes to be fabulous.
Conversations is also a Q & A format with a specialist or prominent personality in "things Polish", but more informal in style.
Books, music and film reviews feature the work of fantastic artists: Polish or doing work related to Poland.
Poetry: self-explanatory.
Travel pieces must be done with a twist. We like something off the beaten path. Innovative. Through the eyes of the locals. Adventurous, spicy, insightful. Absolutely nothing less.
Events focus on hip happenings. Shaken, stirred, and of course, with a zest of "things Polish".Books and film reviews: please read existing reviews for insight.
Please send submissions in unformatted .txt only. Word counts are guidelines. Dazzling work, however economic or liberal with words, will always be considered. Include a short biography with a photo in .jpeg format (please look at existing biographies for a template). A C.V. can be useful.
