Activate Your Voice and become a guest contributor to the MeriTalk community.

Express your opinion and Share your experience with peers focused on overcoming the same challenges that you are facing.

Create an article or series of articles on any government topic that interests you. Be sure to:

• Use Associated Press (AP) style to make the format easy for everyone to read. Information on AP Style can be found here
• Keep your article under 1,000 words – get to the point. For more complex topics, please generate your thoughts as a series of articles
• Embrace the sensibilities of public decorum by refraining from speaking disrespectfully about others and avoiding profane or vulgar language

Upload your contribution, keeping in mind that you can drive more members to review and respond to your thoughts by:

• Including an abstract of your article of more than 20 but less than 50 words
• Tagging your article to the relevant categories of discussion
• Linking the article content with keywords to speed search and identification

Measure your Merit by following the number of page views that you receive, keeping in mind that readers will score you by:

• Relevance: How closely your thoughts are aligned with real problems and real solutions
• Content: How useful your contribution is to the community
• Credibility: How little your contribution sounds like a sales pitch

Join the ranks of MeriTalk regular contributors. All guest contributors will be tracked by page views and scored along with all of the current contributors. Capture 1,000 unique page views and MeriTalk will take your photograph and include you in the regular contributor lineup – including the community home page.
