3. Interested in writing for our blog?

If you’d like to write an article for our blog, please reach out to Susan Lienau to get approval and make arrangements.

Susan will help you settle on a topic that is relevant to our blog’s readership. As a note, we do ask that all contributions are original articles and not published elsewhere on the web.

As you begin the process, please keep the following requirements in mind.

GUEST WRITING GUIDELINES:

1. Quality: Articles must be highly educational and product agnostic. Our readership looks for well-researched advice and in-depth explanations.
2. Editing: All contributions could be subject to editing. We aim to publish content in its original form, but modifications for clarity, grammar, and consistency are sometimes needed.
3. Authorship: We want to give you full credit for everything you write. Please send your bio and headshot along with any article you submit.
4. Images: Images can be a great addition to any blog post. Include images in your article submission but only send images and graphics that you have permissions/licenses to reprint.
5. Length: So that writers have room to expand on their points and provide comprehensive coverage of a topic, we ask that articles be 900+ words.
6. Links: Please include no more than 3 links back to your site and blog. Any link in the post should be to an educational article or resource and not to any marketing or sales material.
