Guest Writer Editorial Guidelines

Before you submit, please read all guidelines!

Topics & Content

• We are looking for articles grounded in specific experiences of homemaking, with a useful takeaway and/or call to action for our readers.

• Please take a look at a few recent Art of Home newsletters to understand what kind of articles we publish. You can access past editions HERE.

• Only pre-approved topics will be reviewed or published. We do follow a topical schedule based on seasonal podcast content. See below for current topics, schedule and submission deadlines.

• We would prefer your submission be a stand alone, new piece, written specifically for The Art of Home newsletter audience. If it has been previously published in full or in part elsewhere, please clearly state this in your submission. In such cases, we will require written permission from the original publishers to use the piece for The Art of Home.

• We do not accept AI-generated work, including any writing created, fully or in part, with AI software. We reserve the right to withdraw acceptance of any work found to be AI-generated, even if after publication.

​

Format 

• Submissions must be between 750-1000 words.

• Please submit your piece as a PDF.

• All content must be submitted in English.

• Keep your title brief, no more than 10 words. The title should clearly communicate the topic of the piece to the reader.

• Recommended resource links embedded in your article are subject to our approval. 

• If you are citing source texts in your piece, please use hyperlinks rather than footnotes or endnotes.

• We encourage the use of a few bold-faced subheadings to break up the text and guide the reader through your piece.

• Please include a short biography with your submission (50 words max). Include your name, how long you have been a homemaker, what state or country you live in, family info, hobbies/interests and your website/social/contact info. 

​Example:  Allison Weeks has been homemaking for 30+ years. She is a wife, mom to 4, and Granny to 2. She lives with her husband in Texas where she cooks, thrifts, reads and produces The Art of Home Podcast. Connect with Allison at theartofhomepodcast.com
