We are open to guest posting and would love to feature your writing on Writing Life!
Please read the following guidelines (and actually follow them because I’ll know if you don’t).
Writing-Related Topics Only, Please
Writing Life is about writing. Grammar tips, fiction advice, character development, academic writing, nonfiction structure, etc., are all examples of great topics.
Discussing creativity, grief, psychology, or travel is also acceptable, but only as it relates to writing. See these articles for examples:
- Creativity: Develop Your Creativity: Top 4 Techniques for Writers
- Grief: What to Write When You Have No Words
- Travel: Travel Writing: I Can Show You the World
