readers+writers journal welcomes guest posts on a variety of topics: writing tips, marketing, publishing, literary news, opinion pieces and features about books and writers. If you are an author, you are welcome to submit a guest post. However, we do not accept posts designed solely to promote your book, so please do not send a review or synopsis of your own book. Instead, consider sharing your experience of writing and promoting it.
Article submission guidelines
- Articles should be at least 500 words long.
- You do not need to provide graphics, though if certain images are integral to the article, you may.
- All articles must be original and not published elsewhere online. You must be the author and hold the rights. By submitting your article you grant readers+writers journal the right to publish it, but you keep the copyright.
- We may make minor edits for formatting or grammar, but we will not change the content.
- At the end of your article you can include a short author bio, and if you are an author we will mention the name of your book.
We are interested in many topics that relate to literature and reading, and we are not wedded to any one format. If you want to write about something you don't see here yet, from banned books to gambling in fiction, send us your idea anyway. To get a feel for what we publish, read The Best Last Lines in Novels or Promoting Your Book on Goodreads.
