Got a bit of swag you want to share?
We’ve never met a parent that didn’t have something valuable (aka swag) to share. That means no matter what you’re thinking, we’d love to hear about how you think you could contribute.
Our contribution guidelines
What we’re looking for
We’re interested in funny or emotionally relatable posts about experiences from pregnancy and fertility, to childbirth and adoption, to single parenting to co-parenting. We understand that everyone is unique but we hope some of our content speaks to someone visiting our site.
We have covered a lot of bases over the years, so we encourage people to consider topics that are outside the box. Stories that discuss things like TTC, stories from a dad’s perspective, experiences with specific medical conditions, or risks or challenges faced for reasons including SES, race, or gender identity – things we all haven’t seen on other sites a bunch of times. We will happily consider anything that might resonate with our diverse audience, especially if the tone is a fit.
Poke around the site to get a sense of the tone and topics of our content. If you feel you have something that can either fill a gap or complement something we already have on the site, please message us below.
What we’re not looking for
- Freelance writers who write custom content in exchange for payment or a link back
- Sponsored posts pretending to be guest posts
- A list of pitches
Other things you should know
- Paid guest posts need to be more than 400 words. We don’t have firm limits on the max word limit but try to keep it to around 2,000 max unless we’ve agreed to more.
- We always prefer real photos vs stock photos so please send through a photo to accompany your post if you have one. If you don’t have one, we can find one.
- We accept previously published posts if they were on your own personal blog, but not if they were on another larger site.
- If you’ve got something that’s maybe more appropriate for a social media post, we’d love to see that too. These ones currently aren’t paid, but we can showcase your own website or social media page if you want a shout out.
- We compensate roughly $100 USD for each accepted full guest post. Social media long form posts are currently not paid.
- If you have a completed piece that you feel matches the tone and topic range for our site, please read and agree to the licensing terms below and then email your piece to hello@thebabyswag.com
