The Fire Networks (Fire Adapted Communities Learning Network, the Fire Learning Network, the Indigenous Peoples Burning Network, and the TREX Coaching Program) are part of a partnership working to restore our relationship with fire, helping us get to “right fire” through the interwoven efforts of each network.
Subscribers, web visitors, and social media audiences are located across the country and around the world. Based on surveys and analytic data, we know our audiences are largely professional practitioners in wildfire and fire adjacent organizations, industries and entities. Additionally, we have engaged resident audiences based in rural areas and cities. Blog authors come from a variety of organizations: including fire departments, conservation districts, Tribes, nonprofits, Firewise fire councils, academia, coordinating groups, and more. Our audiences are highly engaged, connected, and deeply involved in the work of fire adaptation.
Our communications manager will work with all blog authors on editing, proofreading, and finalizing for publication. Blog stories are typically between 600 -1,600 words and have at least a few photos.
Blog formats differ widely. Our format categories include: Day in the Life/Interviews; Stories from the Field; Essays; Resource Round-Ups; Research Synthesis; Tools/Resources; Success Stories and Fantastic Failures. Our blog is diverse in its format, voice and structure and we are always open to expanding our idea of how we tell the story of living better with fire.
Please fill out the pitch form below to share with us your story idea. We accept blog submissions on a rolling basis. Please note that due to a busy editorial calendar, we may not be able to accommodate all ideas.
Please note: we DO NOT publish stories selling products or services.
We are really excited to see what stories you have to share!
