If you haven’t heard about Odyssey, allow me to do the pleasure: Odyssey is a social media platform with an editorial backbone that allows millennials from communities all over the country to create content in a way that lets them share their voices, perspectives and creative visions with their peers - and on a national platform.

Odyssey attracts 30 million unique viewers a month, and that number is only on the rise.

The best part? University of Maine already has a thriving Odyssey community https://www.theodysseyonline.com/@maine and we are currently seeking anyone who considers themselves to be a writer, video creator, or simply a creative, social media influencer to become a content creator for our community.

Content creators are expected to contribute one piece of content a week, but that can be all sorts of things. Want to write a full-fledged, heavy-hitting article on the upcoming election? You can do that here. Or maybe you just want to write a list about why you think your patronus is a Golden Retriever or why you think true love can’t be found on Tinder - all things you can create on this platform as well. Same goes for fiction and poetry. The only things that can’t be explored is anything that’s plagiarized, sexist, racist, or obscenely offensive. Past that, this is a creative playground.
