Jewish? Jew-ish? We want you to write for us! Topics range from personal Jewish experiences, reviews of Jewish media, your search for the NJP (Nice Jewish Person) and much more. If you have a solid idea, we have the outlet. We appreciate community voices and happily pay our freelance writers $50-100 per article that we share with our growing audience. In addition to being published on CincyJewfolk.com, your article will be shared on our social media channels and in our weekly emailed news digest. Shoot, your future book could begin life at Jewfolk!

Want to write but feeling blocked? Here are some prompts to get those fingers typing (we also come up with monthly prompts, published on social media!):

  • Being a new or returning Jew in town
  • How politics shape your Jewish point of view / how Judaism shapes your activism
  • Your (interfaith) family or Jewish parenting
  • History or ancestral lore
  • Jewish spirituality
  • Love & dating
  • Humor & satire
  • Stories from your conversion process / lessons from adult learning
  • Seasonal / Shabbat / chaggim reflections
  • Your (volunteer) work with a Jewish organization — in Cincinnati or abroad
  • Just what makes the perfect latke/blintz/gefilte fish
  • Creative work
  • Restaurant, recipe, or media reviews with a Jewish twist
