Contribute

The Mallard runs on what readers send in. Pick the form that fits your story and submit. Most run with light edits. Some run anonymously, some with your name, depending on the form. Email is never published unless you tell us to.

Send Us a Tip

Neighborhood news, business openings and closings, civic decisions, weird stuff. Confidential.

Submit a Grievance

Bad drivers, worse landlords, the leaf blower at 7 a.m. on Sunday. Punch up or sideways, never down.

Submit Something You Overheard

The stranger quote, the drunk confession, the kid with the take. One or two lines, exactly as you heard them.

Submit a Missed Connection

For the stranger you shared a moment with. For the one who got away. Keep it under 150 words.

Nominate Your Pet

For the dog, cat, rabbit, bird, lizard, or other creature who deserves their moment. One pet featured per issue.

Write to the Mallard

Praise, complaints, corrections, rebuttals. Real names only. Letters under 300 words run more often.

Not sure which one fits? Send a Tip and we'll figure it out. Reach the editor directly at paulp@blueenv.com if it's truly off-menu.
