WRITE FOR US: GUEST BLOG SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Our blog is focused on exploring the existential paradoxes of the human condition as related to personal development. We explore these truths through the lens of psychology, relationships, spirituality, health (physical, mental), wellness, nutrition, fitness, and personal development.
Readers are generally young adults and adults looking to decrease anxiety, improve relationships, and grow in their self-awareness.
We pride ourselves on content that is practical yet profound, backed with research, and uses simple, conversational language. With our advice and action-steps, we always want to add a deeper layer to the conversation rather than just addressing symptoms and surface-level behavior — we want to help people explore and examine the root causes of their problematic behaviors and issues — so that they can overcome them and transform on a deep and sustaining level.
Content Creation Style Guide
Checklist for content value:
- Useful? Does it have utility? Tip: Write to solve an issue or pain point for a single, specific person.
- New idea? Is it a new spin on an old idea or a brand new idea altogether?
- Valuable? Will a reader get value from it?
- Actionable? Are there action steps a reader can take?
- Shareable? Is there an incentive for readers to share it?
- Eye catching? Does the headline make you want to read it?
- Flow? Does the content flow and read well?
- Entertaining? A few chuckles is a bonus
- Long and detailed content generally goes best with our audience
Formatting:
- Not in HTML format
- Numerals (1) instead of numbers (one)
