Submission Guidelines
All submitted manuscripts require the following:
We reserve the right to edit your article, add images, add videos, or make other alterations to better support the needs of our readers.
Process
Once we accept your article, we will format it to fit our website, add images/video, and check in with you about anything that is unclear. The article will then go into our publishing que (or occasionally be held for a relevant holiday such as Valentines Day, Thanksgiving, etc...). As a result, time between submission and publication is usually 1-3 months.

All submitted manuscripts require the following:
- Title: The title must clearly describe the topic of the article.
- Subtitle: The subtitle must include a maximum of 80 characters.
- Keywords: We prefer articles that are optimized for 1 or 2 keywords related to our readers needs or challenges. Not sure what we mean? Read this article on optimizing articles for keywords. Please include your keyword in your submission.
- Article Length: We prefer publishing longer articles, usually of 1000 words or more. A great way to meet this word length is with a listicle article (e.g., 15 ways to do X).
- Article Content: We will only consider new content or content that has been reworded from prior publication.
- Bio: Include a sentence or two bio about you.
- Links: You may include one link to your website and one link to a book or social media channel as part of your bio.
- Video: We prefer articles that include YouTube videos. If any Youtube videos (e.g., Ted Talks, informational videos) support your content, please include links to them in your submission.
- References: Please cite sources for claims that are not generally common knowledge. When citing, use primary sources whenever possible (Google Scholar is a great resource for finding primary sources).
