Guest posting guidelines title graphic


I will consider quality articles that are fresh, original, and appropriate for my blog’s theme and that explore one of the key categories (see below). I prefer to have exclusive use of your content for two weeks before you post it elsewhere, but I would discuss using content you have already published if it would add value to my readers.

Requirements and guidelines:

  • The post must be aligned with the theme of the Heartspoken life and its essential connections:
    • with God (faith)
    • with others (community),
    • with Self (self-knowledge)
    • with nature
    • I am also looking for stories about the impact of personal (especially handwritten) note or letter writing OR anything you might share to encourage readers to write more notes. This is such a powerful connection tool that brings joy to the sender and the recipient, and it is the topic of my book HEARTSPOKEN: How to Write Notes that Connect, Comfort, Encourage, and Inspire.
  • 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 (800×533 pixels). 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.
