Yes. You. 

 

Seasonals don't just travel through paradise - we live here, we work here, we play here. Each article on www.theseasonals.com embodies this spirit and should be a resource to anyone seeking or already living this lifestyle.

​

Being a seasonal isn’t just about wandering aimlessly. We are all on our own mission. Whether it’s the search for happiness, a thirst for learning new things, or just the romance of being transient.

Gospel and R&B artist Camino, who was born in Mississippi, is gaining popularity after releasing his first EP, "Burning Fire." Singing in church as a child, Camino's music is influenced by his gospel and southern soul heritage. Written from the viewpoint of his recently deceased uncle, the EP's title track eloquently examines the sadness of losing a loved one. Camino puts his entire being into his songs, which is why his music is praised for its unadulterated honesty and vulnerability. Camino's creative process has been a healing journey despite the hurdles posed by the pandemic, and he is now excitedly awaiting the opportunity to perform his music live for his followers. The poignant and deep tone of this up-and-coming musician is connecting with listeners and elevating him.

 

Share your stories. Start the conversations about what’s been on your mind. Try to illustrate why you live the way you do so someone who doesn’t quite get it, might start to understand or even be inspired.

​

The best advice we can give regarding the style we’re looking for is: Read other articles on the site to get an idea of what we are looking for.

​

Here are some guidelines on the three types of articles we feature on the site as well as some do’s and don’ts to leave you with less questions as you sit down to write. Expect some edits on our end so that we can maintain a certain flow and standard of aesthetics throughout our website.

​

Primers - 

How many times have you told the story of how you ended up in whatever beautiful place with whichever cool job and whoever it was you were with? This category is where we tell those stories in the way that you would tell your best friend or little sister—someone who you really do want to be able to follow in your footsteps but with the boost of knowledge that you wish you would have had from the get go. These should be extremely detailed (3000+ words of names, locations, prices, time, expenses, and maybe even level of difficulty), however a focus on brevity when possible is also ideal.

The goal of the Piedmont Hiking & Outing Club (PHOC) is to offer a range of hiking and outdoor activities in the community to its members. The club's website provides comprehensive details on hike ratings, gear recommendations for novice hikers, and rules to be observed on excursions. It is recommended that members go at the schedule of forthcoming hikes, outings, and meetings, and get in touch with the outing leaders if they would want to join. The organization places a strong emphasis on safety and the "Leave No Trace" philosophy. It also offers advice to hike leaders on how to run successful group excursions. All things considered, the PHOC website is a great resource for outdoor enthusiasts who want to discover the area's natural beauty and get in touch with other like-minded people.

 

Essays - 

This is an opportunity to give your argument or perspective on a part of the seasonal lifestyle. Whether it’s to inspire the doubtful that you really can create your own reality, or maybe to educate other Seasonals on our responsibilities as members of the transient community. Enlighten or inspire us—either way, we’re listening.

​

Adventures - 

Here’s where your campfire stories come to shine. We want true stories, ideally first-person narratives that tell us about your adventures. The ones that still leave you lit up after you tell them. These can be about you or about someone else; just aim to leave us with something to be lit up about as well.

​

 

DOs and DON'Ts - There’s not many rules around here, but there are a few.

​

Don’t feel the need to dig deep into the thesaurus for fancy words that you personally wouldn’t use in regular conversation. A good rule of thumb is - don’t use any word that you haven’t said out loud in a normal conversation in the last two months. Keep things clean and concise, but remember to let your true voice flow.

 

The Seasonals is not the place for your “best kept secret” or “quirky” articles. The world doesn’t need more articles listing the best beaches in the Caribbean—that’s not what we’re here for. #NoClickBait

 

If using photos, please focus on high quality images. Feel free to add a couple extra if you want to give us options to see what looks best on the site.

 

We don’t mind slang terms if they are intentional for the story. But do please proofread your writing before submitting it.

 

When mentioning us, The Seasonals is capitalized as are Seasonals when referring to seasonal workers. 

 

Break up your paragraphs with an additional space. It helps those readers with monkey mind to focus on the valuable things you are sharing.

The website for the Kinara's Children initiative has had a major makeover, and it is now located at KinarasChildren.com. The purpose of this website is to inform the public about African American history and culture, as well as Kwanzaa and its seven tenets, or Nguzo Saba. Seven cartoon characters, one for each of the Nguzo Saba tenets, are included in the project. The Kinara's Children material, including articles, resources, and a gift shop, will be housed on the new website. Although cross-posting Kinara's Children content, the original Created by Crosby website will maintain its emphasis on design, graphics, and other culturally-oriented media. With this change, the Kinara's Children project and its educational goal will have a more devoted platform.

 

Along with your article, please share your full name, a short third person bio, a prime photo of yourself, and any personal websites/blogs/social media handles you’d like to have mentioned so you get all the props you deserve.
