You can help us make Sacramento a stronger community by contributing to The Sacramento Press. Our website is free and open to the public. To become a community contributor, all you have to do is:

1. Sign up by clicking the button at the top of the page.
2. Then, once you are signed in, you will see a "write" button at the top of the page. Just click the "write" button, fill out a form and watch a tutorial.
3. Title your Storyline. This is the topic you intend to write about and it helps tie your articles about the same topic together.
4. You can start writing immediately inside the browser or copy and paste your article from a word processor. You can save your draft on our system and come back to edit the draft. However, please note that once you hit the "Publish" button, your story is published and cannot be edited without the help of an administrator -- you can email journalism@sacramentopress.com to contact an administrator.

Finally, we now offer copy editing and other services for writers. Just email a draft of your work to journalism@sacramentopress.com. Journalism Support Manager Colleen Belcher will coordinate an edit with one of our copy editors. Your story will be sent back to you within 24 hours. You can post the story with or without the editing changes.

Thank you again for your interest. If you have any questions, you can email journalism@sacramentopress.com and we will get back to you as soon as possible. We look forward to reading your work on The Sacramento Press!
