Start the Conversation: Become a Cleveland Heights Patch Blogger

Cleveland Heights Patch is more than a news site. We ask you for your opinions and input because we want it to be an online conversation about your community. We often ask you a question at the end of articles or encourage you to chime in on discussions via Facebook and Twitter.

Now we're asking you to initiate the conversation. 

Start a forum in your community by becoming a Patch blogger. We're looking for five local voices from Cleveland Heights to write regular, engaging blogs about subjects and issues close to the community. If you have a blog or have always wanted to start one, we want to hear from you. 

Strong community voices like yours are needed, and this is a chance to share your opinions and expertise with a wider audience. Everyone is welcome: Parents, artists, bike enthusiasts, nonprofit organizers, lawyers, grandparents, shopkeepers, baristas, hobbyists and government officials, just to name a few.

• Do you have strong opinions about Cleveland Heights City Council decisions?
• Are you concerned or thrilled about the proposed development at the former ?
• Will the proposed  affect you and your family?
• Are you passionate about cooking or running marathons?
• Do you want to teach people how to ?
• Is there an issue that we're not addressing in that you're dying to talk about? 
• Do you want to celebrate the work of local artists or musicians in Cleveland Heights? 
• Can you just make us all laugh?

Share your points of view through the powerful Patch platform, which connects with Cleveland Heights on a grassroots level.

The space is free, and Patch bloggers are not paid and will own their blogs. So if you're already blogging and want to share with our readers, too, let us know. 

Blogging for Cleveland Heights Patch means sharing your voice, not ours. It means writing twice a day, or twice a month. Your voice, our forum. 

Contact Cleveland Heights Patch editor Michelle Simakis if you are interested in starting the conversation.
