Are you an expert, or knowledgeable collector, in a particular area of antiques or collecting?
If so, we’d love to hear from you (email us). We’re seeking guest articles and columns which provide introductions to or well-informed commentary on specific collecting categories. If you have an article or piece of writing that fits the bill, we’ll work with you to edit it and get it ready to feature on our site. Of course, you’ll get a byline, some great visibility, and a link back to your website if you have one.
Some examples of the types of articles we’re looking for:
- “Getting Started With an Antique Letterpress,” by Elizabeth Nevin
- “Trends in Fishing Tackle Collecting,” by Jeff Savage
- “What is Carnival Glass,” by Glen and Stephen Thistlewood
- “Collecting Vintage Magic Posters,” by Charles Greene III
So take a look around and see what you might be able to write… perhaps you can modify something you wrote in the past, or even something currently on your website (like an FAQ page). This is a great chance to put all that knowledge you’ve accumulated over the years to good use, and to help educate beginning collectors in the process.
Send us an email and let us know what you have in mind…
We look forward to hearing from you!
