Don't be shy! McLean Patch is on a mission to recruit fresh voices, and this is a great opportunity to make your voice heard. This isn't a reporting job. It's blogging. You write what you want to say when you want to say it. Do it on your schedule, whether that's posting multiple entries per day or a couple times a month.

Patch bloggers are not paid and will own their blogs.  This is a chance to share your expertise and opinions with a wider audience! Much like The Huffington Post (which has is now part of Patch) has done, Patch is providing local bloggers an online platform to have their words seen by a larger audience.

My role as editor would be to review blog entries submitted to McLean Patch to ensure there are no libelous claims. We might correct obvious typos, too.

If you'd like to chat about the opportunity to share your unique voice with our readers, let me know by emailing bobbi.bowman@ patch.com or by calling me at 703-341-7776.

Contact Bobbi Bowman  if you are interested in being a part of the conversation.  Be interesting. Be provocative. Be yourself.
