Article Submission Guidelines

BodyMindSpiritOnline.com welcomes the submission of articles to be published on this website. Here are our criteria:

• The content must not be published anywhere else online, now or in the future. We’re cautious about avoiding “duplicate content,” and everything we publish needs to be unique.
• We retain the copyright for web publishing, but you’re welcome to publish the same content in print, eBook, or another form so long as it is not available on the Internet (search engines cannot index it).
• Content length needs to be at least 500 words. We welcome longer-form pieces like essays.
• Web content is most readable on screens when paragraphs are short and grouped into frequent topical subheadings. BodyMindSpiritOnline.com is mobile responsive and facilitates reading on phones, tablets, etc.
• Our CMS is WordPress, and we add between 5 and 9 tags, which you’re welcome to suggest. All articles are published in one topical category. We conduct basic SEO (search engine optimization) on every article. We add images to each article we publish.
• The quality of the writing should be high. All content must be thoroughly proofed before submission.
• We do not compensate guest writers for their content. However, we sometimes commission articles to freelancers and pay for those submissions.
• A short writer bio and picture are requested to follow the article.
• The article can include one link to an external website (not BodyMindSpiritOnline.com). The link should reside in the body copy, not the author bio. It has to be on a website that matches the article’s theme and is of obvious value to visitors.
• Once an article is published, it is permanent. We do not remove articles upon request, but we’re happy to oblige reasonable requests to update the content (e.g., name changes).

If you’re interested in submitting an article or have any questions, please get in touch with us.
