Mamashine Guest Posts Guidelines

Hi! Thanks for your interest in being a contributor. If you are new here, you might want to stay updated by signing up for our email list.

We do accept guest posts and are excited to create a tribe of exciting contributors. If you have your own blog or service and would like to be a guest author please follow these guidelines:

Content

Your post must be on one or all of the following topics with an emphasis on; natural health, alternative medicine, personal growth, living your purpose, mindful parenting, and or creativity.

Please relate your topic to women, motherhood, and parenting or children.

Your post cannot be an advertisement for your product or the equivalent of a sponsored post unless you apply to be a regular community contributor. Please contact me directly at mari@mamashine.net if you are interested in being a regular.

Blog Post Guidelines

(borrowed from Michael Hyatt’s blog)

  1. Your post must be original and not previously published either on the Web or in print.
  2. You agree not to publish it anywhere else, including your own blog or Web site. You may, however, post a brief “tease” or summary on your site that links to the post.
  3. You may provide up to three byline links: one for your blog or Web site, one for your bio or About page, and one for your Twitter username (optional).
  4. Your post should be at least 350 words long and no more than 800 words.
  5. To get the most benefit from your post you should also read: “Anatomy of an Effective Blog Post” by Michael Hyatt

Editing

  • I will likely edit your post for grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc. If I make substantive changes (unlikely), I will email the post back to you for your approval before posting.
  • I may provide a short introduction or conclusion to your post to provide context or the rationale as to why I think the post is important. I will make sure that my comments are set off from yours stylistically, so that my readers are clear that these are mine and not yours.

Disclaimer

I understand the work that it takes to write a blog post. However this does not obligate me to publish it. The only guest posts I will publish are those that in my sole judgment add value to my readers.

If I do not approve your guest post, I will not explain why I did not approve it or provide any detail. I’m sorry I’m just too busy.

Submissions

If your post meets the above guidelines:

  • Please email it to me at mari@mamashine.net for consideration. I will respond with a “yes” or “no” as soon as possible but please be patient.
  • If I turn down your post, you are obviously free to publishing it elsewhere.
  • Please confirm that you are willing to engage with my readers in the comments about your post. This is hugely important and a non-negotiable.
  • Put your post in the body of the email rather than as an attachment.

 

I look forward to hearing from you.
