Share Your Passion – Write Coin Collecting Articles for Hobbizine
We are the Internet’s premier publisher of hobby and collectible information and we are looking for freelance writers to provide articles on all aspects of coin collecting. Our readers range from beginner to advanced and they all share two things in common: they love numismatics and they are hungry for more information about their favorite pastime.
Guidelines
Articles for Hobbizine are generally concisely written and between 300 and 1000 words in length.Submit only original work. A list of reference materials used in writing the article should be included with your submission.
Submit your best work. We suggest you take a look around the Hobbizine website to ensure you understand the general tone and style – then send us something that will make it better!
Graphic support while not a requirement is highly recommended. Scans, photos, and original illustrations can all do wonders to dress up an article.
Assume that your audience is knowledgeable about coin collecting but not as knowledgeable as you. You are, after all, the expert. Always introduce technical terms and use "just enough" jargon to give your writing flavor but still be readable by beginners.
Bear in mind why you are writing the article and why you think our readers will be interested. Does the information in your article open up a new collecting avenue for the reader? Does the information in your article enable the reader to get more enjoyment from collecting? Does the information in your article help the reader make wiser purchases?
Keep it light and keep it fun. While educating and entertaining our readers, we take pains to never imply there is a right way or a wrong way to enjoy the hobby.
