About This Blog
A Chronic Voice is a health, wellness and chronic illness blog. I write most of the content here, but I welcome guest posts, too. Do read some of the ‘Published’ posts before you submit a pitch, to get a feel of the tone and type of content preferred here. Do take note of the following guidelines before you contribute your idea or pitch using the contact form below.
Contribution Guidelines
- Content must be unpublished elsewhere, including your own blog.
- It would be great if you could refer me to some articles that you’ve written before.
- You can pitch your idea first to see if it will be a good fit.
- After pitch approval, please send the final, error-free draft to me. I may edit it further before publishing, or reject it for any reason.
- An average word count would be around 700. But I rather have quality in every sentence, and do not mind less or more.
- You may link up to two of your own blog posts within the guest post, if they are relevant.
- You may link up to five external sources, if they are relevant.
- All facts and statistics you use must link back to the original source. The source should be a credible one, such as a governmental or educational body.
- You should get a response within 2 weeks. If you don’t, feel free to follow up with me again.
- It would be great if you could provide some pictures to go along with the post. I will create the featured and Pinterest image on my end for consistency purposes.
- Do include a photo and short bio about yourself (approximately 150 words), as well as all your social media links.
- There will be no payment for guest posts from bloggers. It is meant for cross-promotional purposes, and I will share it to all my social media channels.
