Are you an Oakland Local contributor - or would-be contributor?

Can't make it to the day-time editorial meetings? 

Come out tonight afterwork to Oakland Local's first 6 p.m. edit meeting. This is the chance to pitch your story ideas, get assignments, find out about hands-on trainings and get some tips on posting to the site that will make it easier to know how to size photos for your stories and embed slideshows and video.

If you'd like to attend, check out the invite on Facebook "Oakland Local editorial meeting & training session" or email editorial[at]oaklandlocal.com for location. We will gather at 6 p.m.; edit meeting will start promptly 6:15 p.m.

Whether you're a professional writer based in Oakland or a local community member interested in writing for the site, we are interested in including your voice in Oakland Local. If you can't make this evening meeting, but would like to be involved, email editor[at]oaklandlocal.com for a list of other meetings.
