Contribute to Journaling Saves

The best ideas come from our fellow journalers. Here’s your chance to share your own wisdom and tips with the Journaling Saves community!

I am actively seeking guest posts of various kinds for publication on the website. This is a great way to stretch your wings as a content writer, to bond with fellow journal keepers, and to get links back to your website. Journaling Saves has a loyal and active following, so your post will get lots of supportive exposure.

If you’re new to the site, please read a few posts to get a feel for the type of stuff I publish. Below are several options for contributing content to the site. Please read the guidelines carefully to save both you and I energy.

If you have any questions about guest posting, don’t hesitate to drop me a line.

Guidelines for All Contributions

We love photos! Please include as many photos as you can. Photos must be resized to 72 dpi with a maximum width of 500px. They should be in .jpg format.
Submissions can be in Word (.doc), Open Office (.odf), or plain text (.txt) format — or pasted into the body of an email. I have both a Mac and a PC so don’t worry about platform. No HTML formatting is necessary.
Include a couple of sentences about yourself with an optional photo of you.
Include up to 2 links back to your site.
If you want readers to be able to contact you, include your email address.

Guest Posts

Guest posts should be roughly 700 – 1200 words. It’s a good idea to propose the topic to me before writing the post just so I can make sure you’re headed in the right direction before you pour your heart into it. I’m happy to help you shape your idea into a relevant post for my audience.

If you want to contribute but aren’t sure what to write about, I’ve got a handy list of post ideas to share. Just drop me a line to discuss.

Interviews

Download the questions in MS Word or PDF format.
Send your answers as an email attachment or copy and paste them into the body of an email. Send to: k@journalingsaves.com
Include LOTS of photos if you can!

For examples, please read some of my journaling interviews.

Product Reviews

Write about anything journal-related, from notebooks and art journaling supplies to apps, books and card decks.
Include relevant links. No affiliate links will be acepted.
Photos, as always, are encouraged!
If it’s your product, or you have commercial interest in the product, that’s fine — just please clearly state your relationship to the product in your review.

I can’t promise to post all product reviews, but I will consider all of them. First and foremost they must be beneficial to my audience and topic-appropriate.

Web Resources

Know of a great journaling resource we could benefit from? Send a review along with relevant links and screen shots (if possible). No affiliate links will be acepted. If it’s your site, or you have commercial interest in the site, that’s fine — just please clearly state your relationship to the site in your review.

Photos and Scans
