Do you want to share your knowledge and experience?
Are you interested in helping other writers, directors and producers benefit from what you’ve learned?
In the spirit of building our online community and sharing experiences with other folks in the film, TV and digital media worlds, we’re accepting contributions to the NSI website.
If you would like to add your story to our growing library of online resources, read on.
Contributions to the NSI website must be engaging, educational, well researched and not longer than 1,000 words.
With your article submissions you must include a short summary of one or two sentences that describes what the article is about.
Submitted articles must be your original work.
Sorry but we can’t guarantee to publish every submission we receive and if your article is overly commercial, it’s unlikely to make it on to the website (i.e., pitches, plugs, and "infomercials").
The National Screen Institute reserves the right to edit your submission.
There is no payment for submitting an article… just your name and picture up in web lights and the satisfaction of knowing you are helping others better understand our industry and advance in their careers. All NSI's web content is automatically fed to
Twitter and
Facebook so your work will be seen far and wide.
We're looking for these types of article:
- Aggregated information, facts, stats or content on the film, TV or digital media industries that currently exists in different places.
- A 101 essential people, sites, or posts from the world of film, TV and/or digital media.
- A list of bite-size tips for our industry that is quick and useful.
- How-to articles about an industry topic or issue.
- Analysis or interpretation of current trends in our industry, using examples.
- Walk readers through a day in your life. Take photos or even use video.
- Interviews with upcoming folks in our industry.
- A rant about an industry topic you feel passionate about.
- Ask a question everyone else is afraid of asking.
- Write what you notice our industry is doing wrong, and ways it can get on a better path.
- Tell a story using pictures.
- Write a post listing the most important news items in your niche over the last 15, 30, 60 or 90 days with a quick yet compelling editorialized description of each.
- An industry jargon busting list with simple definitions.
