You want to submit a guest post to Aiming Low?
Awesome.
Let’s do this.
We’re accepting guest submissions for the following channels:
Aiming Low :: Your personal tales of good enough
Aiming Low Family :: Um. Families. Tell us about yours or your definition.
Aiming Low TEACH :: Do you know how to do cool and mostly interesting stuff? Tell us how.
Aiming Low Miss Unlimited :: Words of hope, wisdom and strength for young women learning the perfection of mediocrity.
Posts will be considered as long as they meet the following GUIDELINES:
- Brief. 450 words or less
- Visual. We like photos. Especially if they don’t suck and are attributed.
- Thorough. Check for typos & grammar
- Funny. Or at least try to be funny. This is a humor site, after all.
- Authentic. Be yourself.
- Courage. A lot of our staff have come from guest writer spots. Go for it.
But. WAIT. There’s MORE…
- Previously published posts are fine, just make sure they’re more than a month old and totally awesome.
- You can submit as many posts as you like, but make sure each submission is in a SEPARATE e-mail.
- Put submissions within the text of your e-mail (don’t use attachments like Word, .pdf, send links, etc.)
- If you use HTML tags in your submission, one of the editors will give you foot rub.
Send the hilarity to GUEST@AimingLow.com, along with your
1. Name as you would like it to appear on Aiming Low
2. A blog URL (if you have one)
3. A very short bio (3-4 sentences) & a headshot that you’d like to be included in the post. *
Now go on... read all that stuff again because, hey, you can send us whatever you like, but if it doesn’t have all that stuff up there?
We’re going to feed it to our honey badger.
Seriously.
And he’s hungry. For posts.
We may not be able to respond to all submission requests, but we will let you know if & when your post is scheduled to be published.
You will also receive instructions for the secret Aiming Low handshake that you can use for extra cool points at your next blogging conference. It may also be good for a free coffee at Starbucks, but we’re not sure. Try it and let us know. Better still, try it, record it on video, and send us the YouTube link.
Thank you and we’re looking forward to hearing from you!**
