Poppytalk is looking for a few good contributors! This is an excellent opportunity for those who wish to bring more attention to their own work/blog/shops and/or for those who wish to contribute to the design and handmade community.
Poppytalk is a voice for our readers, and so we are looking specifically for Poppytalk readers to apply.

We are expanding our reach and are looking for a few interested contributors to fill the following:
DIY Contributors (3 - 4 people)
These amazing talented folks would offer up original and quality DIY's/Tutorials for our equally amazing DIY readers. We are looking for the "best of the best"; people with an aesthetic similar to ours (check out our DIY section and tutorial section to see what we post about). DIYs/Tutorials would be for home and fashion. We subscribe to learning how to make things; not copying other's work. See below for more details on how to submit.
Dispatches from Contributors
Dispatches from contributors would report twice a month (or more if applicable) on happenings design/art-wise (from their specific areas). Posts such as shop tours, artists, artist's studios, art shows, craft shows, galleries, street art, even just pictures of streets sometimes, etc. Please check our current amazing contributors - Dispatches from Sweden, Tokyo, France.

New Product Contributor (based anywhere)

Exciting! Are there specific things you'd like us to include in our email? (i.e. links to blog, writing sample, etc?)
Also, for the US, NY position - does the person have to be in NY but cover anything in the Eastern US? Or can they just be in the Eastern US and cover things that happen in NY and elsewhere?
Thanks!
Thanks Katie - that would help wouldn't it?
: )
please include your name, a link to your blog and shop, a short bio and where you live!
Preferably New York - to attend the shows there, but we're open to discussing.
OH, I'm interested in the dispatching posting. I'm an art teacher and illstrator/kids book writer, who lives in Oakland, CA.
Check out my blog...

(it's a little slow lately, I'm working on an MA in art Ed. at the moment... almost done, though!)
Shame the French position has to be Paris, the south of France is exciting too :(
Edinburgh???? If ever you need contributions from Scotland I would be very happy to help.
The San Joaquin Valley of California is a place with less profile and visibility but a place of it's own rich culture nonetheless. If you'd ever like a representative from there I would love to do it! :)

Why not have contributors from Africa, Asia, S. America, and Oceania?? I love to see more international, diverse stuff.
Hazel Terry - Edinburgh! Yes of course! We are hoping to add more cities/countires as we grow. We're starting small. : )
tinyparticlesoflight - i'll tell our Californian contributor to check that out thanks!
Morgan - Africa/Oceania - would be nice wouldn't it? I hope to add more as we grow. Asia - we do have Tokyo and would love more - this is just the beginning, but I couldn't agree with you more!!!!
Aww, poor Chicago, left out again like yesterday's bread... ;)
so exciting*! Poppytalk just keeps growing & growing like a lovely flower.. and now a bouquet of flowers.. looking forward to seeing all these new ideas, places, & inspiration.
I'll vote for Minneapolis/St. Paul (Twin Cities) next!
Both cities have thriving arts communities...with plenty of taxpayer support. We'd (I'd) be happy to share the details :-)
i live in Munich, Germany, Interested? I will submit the requested details just in case!
so long,

I would love to contribute!
What an amazing opportunity! I've already sent off my 'application' email.

A.K.A. Your new Sydney, Australia correspondent extraordinaire!
sending you an email now Jan, such a great idea. x
Thank you all so much, it's nice to have this supportive community - you all amaze me!
Here...here...Chicago is quite stylish and has a great art and crafts scene! You don't have a midwestern state represented yet. Pick Chicago too and I'll email you my resume :)
I agree with the Midwest contributer. We're the craftiest! Chicago is well established but Detroit has an inspiring art and design scene.
I think Chicago should be in too - when I put this together - I was thinking more about the trade shows I want coverage from - like the National Stationery Show, the ICFF, Surtax, etc.
If you wish those interested from Chicago, that wish to have a voice, please email me!
So interesting!!
I´m an architect from Spain, I´m going to send you an e-mail with some pictures of things I like.
thanks!
Hello, how exciting! I live in Cape Town, South Africa and there are loads of awesome creatives out here. Would love to be able contribute when you decide to include African dispatches.
Hey! This sounds fanstastic! I just sent you an email with all of my information.
TX!
Tina
Hope to join you contributors team one day. Maybe from Paris, where I'll move in April :)
Good luck for the great job you are doing!
This is very exciting! There will be so much more wonderful Poppytalk!
I love reading the dispatches. Do materials?
Thanks, Fiona
That was meant to be asking- Do you have a deadline in mind for receiving materials?
Thanks, Fiona
Hi Fiona,
Thanks for asking - I haven't - but may soon.
: )
Hi,
I just sent my email, along with examples of my work. I look forward to hearing from you. What an exciting opportunity!
Pick me, Pick me!
