Start on Vakh
Vakh for publications
Run a zine, journal, newsletter, or news desk where pitches and tips arrive complete through your fields, editors pick what runs, and readers follow every issue.
Today
Pitches arrive by email, by DM, and as a doc link with the wrong permissions. Half are missing the one line you asked for. The published pieces live on a site nobody visits between issues. Readers who want to write for you have no door to knock on.
With Vakh
There is a pitch board anyone can write to, with the fields a pitch needs, and editors approve what appears. Published pieces go into an editorial board only editors post to, shown as the latest, by section, and as a full archive anyone can follow. A news desk takes tips from the public the same way. A knowledge base keeps long-form pages with edit history and a sources list. Readers comment through their own board, and editors approve there too.
See it in action
Published pieces as the latest, by section, and as a full archive. The Whole setup tab shows the other boards in this set.
Editors publish articles. Everyone can read them.
Anyone can pitch through your fields, so every pitch has what an editor needs to decide.
Approval on pitches and comments. Only editors post to the editorial board.
Published pieces appear as the latest, by section, and as an archive, and land in the feeds of people who follow you. A newsletter, a news desk, or a wiki works the same way.
And more
A news desk with public tips. A newsletter people follow in order. A wiki with edit history. An open call for the annual issue.
Every pitch has a door. Every issue has readers.
Editors, institutions, and media
Every month the PLI pilot sets aside part of our marketing budget as a pool. You earn points when writers and readers join Vakh through your links, when you post regularly, and when people respond to what you post, and your share of the points is your share of the pool. Running a publication for an institution or a media house? Colleges, cultural bodies, and independent media run publications with sections, editors, and contributors who change every year. We work with institutions to shape the forms, review flow, and permissions their publication needs.
