How should I submit my post?
Please submit your post as a Google document Or Send it as a Word document.
We use Google Docs because it allows us to easily collaborate with several
people without passing around new versions of a Word Doc. (Don’t forget
to give us editing power.)
Tip: It’s best to create your post as a Google Doc, rather than uploading a
Word Doc to Google. Sometimes if you take the latter route, we can’t edit even
if you tell the doc to allow us to do so.
How long
should my posts be?
Aim for 800-1,000 words.
Should I include links within the piece?
Yes. Please include links that will be helpful and relevant for the reader –
they can be to an appropriate post on your site or on any other news site or
blog. We ask that you include at least two links within your post to other
posts on The Write Life.
Insert links in your copy via anchor text or keywords, for example, like this
if you’re writing about networking. No HTML, please!
Should I write a headline?
That’d be great! We reserve the right to tweak it for SEO, style or just to
make it more attention-grabbing.
Did you know? We actually write approximately 10-15 headlines before choosing
one for a post. If you want to suggest one or two potential headlines, that
makes our job easier!
Will you edit my post?
Yes, we’ll edit for content and clarity, doing our best to preserve your voice.
You’ll be able to see our changes in your Google Doc and we’ll often work with
you a few weeks ahead of your publishing date on edits.
Can I repost my submission on my blog?
No. If we run your post on The Write Life, we retain the rights to that
content. We don’t allow republishing on your own blog or any other website.
(Did you know reposting content can hurt SEO traffic results for everyone
involved? We try to keep it tidy around here.)
Are you definitely going to publish my piece?
We reserve the right to not publish your post if we decide it’s not a strong
fit for us. You are then free to publish it elsewhere.
Should I include a photo?
Yes, but we have the right to replace it if we want.
What should I do after I submit my post?
When it runs, we hope you’ll be active in the comments, responding to readers’
questions or thoughts. We also hope you’ll share your post on social media!
We look forward to your contribution!
