Guest blogs

Do you have strong opinions about writing-related topics? If so, we want to hear from you!

To make our community more helpful to aspiring authors, we will regularly feature blog articles with relevant writing content. These are the topics that we would like to cover:

• tips for improving writing craft

• how to catch the attention of agents

• traditional publishing industry know-how or insight

• advice for self-published authors

• how to build a platform and do self-promotion

If you have knowledge, insights, or opinions about any of these broad topics, you should consider being a guest blogger on our platform. All you need to do is craft a blog article that is 600-1,200 words with a short bio about yourself. Guest bloggers will receive:

• support for drafting and editing your article (if needed!)

• full credit for writing the article—you will be listed as the author on our blog, and we will link your social media channels and/or website

• promotion through our social media and mailing list

• Steven's undying appreciation and admiration

Interested? Let us know by sending an email to slushpilemonster [at] gmail [dot] com with the subject line "GUEST BLOG".

*If you are not sure if your topic is a good fit for our blog, please send us an email before writing it.

**We reserve the right not to publish articles for any reason.

Also, don’t forget to join our mailing list so you never miss any of the games or competitions! We also share resources for writers. It's much more reliable than getting updated on Twitter, and we also have special mailing list-only content!
