Submitting Work to the BeatTips Hip Hop Archive

Republishing your pieces at the BeatTips Hip Hop Archive has a number of benefits.  It gives you an instant BeatTips by-line, a searchable author profile, an author page, a new spotlight on your work, and a new addition to your writing portfolio and CV.  Also, through your author profile, you will be able to add notes and commentary to your previously published pieces; and you will further benefit from professional editing/copyediting. Finally, we pay a fee for all of the pieces that we acquire for the BeatTips Hip Hop Archive.  Note: this fee is for a *non-exclusive license to republish, so writers retain full copyright in their work.
