I welcome guest posts year round from authors, industry professionals, and others associated with the writing and publishing community. I do not pay for guest posts, but you will reach a very engaged audience of readers I’ve been serving for 15 years.
Here’s what you need to know.
- Guest posts must be previously unpublished.
- Minimum length is 800 words. There is no maximum length. Longer posts do very well at this site.
- I take no rights to your material, but I do ask for one week of exclusivity before you repost or republish elsewhere.
- All posts are sent via email to my blog subscribers (5,000+) and shared on my social media accounts.
- All guest posts include your photo and bio, credit line, and links to your website and/or book.
- Most guest posts go live within two weeks of receiving and/or approval. Or, guest posts can be scheduled on any date in the future you prefer.
- I love to excerpt books at my site if I get to choose the excerpt. Note: I excerpt only nonfiction books related to writing and publishing.
Check the guest post archives to get an idea of what type of guests and guest posts I typically accept. My standards are high, and I sometimes ask for revisions. If you want guidance on pitching a guest post, try this advice from Copyblogger, or this advice from Problogger. Both methods are acceptable.
How to contact and what to send
- Reach out through my contact page and describe the guest post you’d like to contribute. If the post is already written, I’ll ask you to send it as a Word attachment or to paste it into the body of an email.
