Write for GAIN

GAIN is dedicated to sharing the voices and experiences of women, non-binary, and trans people in higher education with the community! Thus, we are looking for women, non-binary, and trans people to contribute to our community with their knowledge, skills, and expertise. We invite you to share your voice in a variety of ways: 

• Top Ten Feature: Make a top ten list of your favorites (resources, books, tips, etc.) on a specific topic to share with the GAIN community.

• Hot Topic: Take a stand on a current issue in higher education or in the larger community and share how GAIN members can become better informed and get involved.

• Values Feature: GAIN's 7 values are equity, advocacy, celebration, inclusivity, community, education, and leadership. Choose a value and write about what this means to you in your work and in your life in general.

• Q&A Feature: Allow the GAIN Community to get to know you by taking time to answer OWHE's template of questions about yourself.

• "Shout Out" Feature: Celebrate an accomplishment of a member of the GAIN Community by writing about the success!

• My Journey Feature: Take the traditional GAIN route and submit a 1000-1200 word essay about your own journey. This may also include any advice you'd like to share with the GAIN community.

Submission Guidelines: 

• Written submissions should be between 1000-1200 words long (excluding the Q&A Feature).

• Authors should submit a profile picture or related image to include with the publication.

• You must fill out a survey to indicate your interest to write for GAIN.

• We plan to list your name, pronouns, institution, position, and work email address on the blog unless otherwise negotiated.

• Submission deadlines will be negotiated with the Director of Education after you complete the volunteer survey.

To volunteer to write, please fill out the survey!
