Writers Wanted! We Need YOU!

Macaroni KID Acton-Lexington is looking for guest writers

By Tessa D'Ippolito, Publisher April 1, 2023

We need you!  Write about the fun things you're doing with your family and make money!  You can even earn free tickets to shows and fun destinations!

  • Do you enjoy writing?
  • Are you looking for fun ways to be more involved in our community?
  • Would you like to write about and photograph a local playground, park, attraction, business or venue?

If you would like to write for Macaroni KID Acton-Concord-Bedford-Lexington (for pay!), we'd love to have you join our team of contributing writers.  We have a list of topics you can select from or feel free to suggest any local topic you'd like to write about.  

We love to publish articles by local writers that are informative, real, useful and fun. Our focus is on local content about destinations, businesses, and activities you can do right here in this area, particularly the towns/cities of Acton, Bedford, Boxborough, Carlisle, Concord, Lexington, Lincoln and Maynard.  We also are interested in articles about day trips within 1-2 hours.  

A typical article is 500-1000 words and includes plenty of details and information that parents need to know, plus lots of pictures (video is welcomed too).  Article examples include Playground Guides about specific playgrounds, Museum Visits, a Day in [Town], recipes, crafts, and other ideas for things to do with the kids. Pay range is $25 per article (including photos).

Regular contributors can take advantage of free tickets to shows or destinations, in return for an article about their experience, and will be offered any extra tickets that we receive.
