East Valley Living welcomes your submissions.  We encourage local individuals, businesses, community groups, and other organizations to submit community interest stories, newsworthy announcements and information about upcoming events for publication in the Business, Local News, Fundraising, Entertainment or Events categories.

We do not require a journalism degree for submitted content to be accepted for publication; however, we do expect content to be professionally written.

We will consider newsworthy announcements on most topics as long as they are not advertorial or commercial in nature.

Publication service is free, however we do limit news announcements about individuals, groups or businesses to one per month. There are no limitations on news announcements about local, non-profit, community-focused organizations.

We will not accept self-serving, opinionated, political, religious, individual or special interest group’s editorial commentary, or any defaming, scandalous and/or otherwise slanderous submissions.
