Make a Living Writing provides authoritative, helpful advice that doesn’t pull any punches. I’m seeking posters who can offer straightforward, practical, valuable, no-bull information that’s rooted in personal experience. Concrete examples are encouraged.
Please be a regular reader of this blog before you pitch me. Be familiar with the topics that have recently been covered on the blog. Propose something different.
Know how to write strong headlines.
Some particular areas where I am always looking for guest posts include specialized writing niches, time management, and the technical end of blogging and writers’ Web sites. I also like success stories about how a writer broke in, or got a great client.
I prefer posts of about 500 words or less, though a long-list type topic might need more space.
Proof relentlessly. Write concisely. Know AP Style.
Check the popular posts sidebar at right for a sense of what readers like.
Posts should be unique and previously unpublished. You will not include any lies in your post, or especially anything that slanders or defames anyone else.
I retain the right to use your guest post in future ebooks and other products. However, you may reprint/republish your post after 30 days.
Compose your post in your WordPress so that it formats well. Please suggest an image and provide credit link information.
Once your topic has been approved by me, send me two things: a .txt or .rtf plain-text version of your proposed post for putting into my WordPress html mode, and a Word doc for easy read-through.
I offer two links in your tagline, plus one more in your byline. That is all. Keep your tagline short – three lines max.
Have a passion for helping other writers make more money.
Do not send me finished articles. They will not be accepted.
When you’re ready, email me your pitch. It should include the proposed headline for your blog as well as an outline of the points you would cover. All emails become the property of this blog.
