I will consider quality articles that are fresh, original, and appropriate for my blog's theme and fit in one of the key categories (see below). I prefer to have exclusive use of your content for two weeks before you post it elsewhere.
Requirements and guidelines:
- The post must be aligned with one of these topics: faith, community, nature, self-knowledge, personal notewriting, or spiritual writing.
- All articles are subject to proofreading and editing.
- All articles must be accompanied by a short bio (with links — website, social media links, etc. — and contact information) and, if possible, a quality digital photo of the author.
- Photos to illustrate or accompany the article are appreciated. I need photo credit information for any image you send (other than the author photo).
- Ideal length for articles is 350-1000 words, but if you can convey your great idea in fewer words — or need more — we can discuss. Often a very long article can work better as a series, and I would consider a series of related articles.
- Crude language and adult content will not be considered.
- Submission does not guarantee publication. I retain the right to select those submissions that reflect the highest quality and content.
- Guest post authors retain all rights to their content for future use.
- If your piece is published, I would appreciate your help in promoting your guest post at Heartspoken.com to your own constituents.
If you have ideas for other types of collaboration, I'm always happy to discuss. Use the contact form.
