Write for Us Anime: Anime Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Search for anime guest post guidelines and most of what comes back is forum threads and social group posts from writers asking where to pitch, which says a lot about how few editors explain what they want. Most pitches we see are episode recaps or top ten lists. What this blog wants is the view from someone who makes things in the fandom: how an artist grew a following drawing fan art without crossing a studio's line, what a cosplayer learned selling prints at conventions, how a creator picks which new season to cover first.

My readers are business owners, freelancers and creators, and a growing number of them make art, comics or videos for fans. They already use my guides to making comics and manga with AI for free and the best Japanese learning apps. An anime post has to help them make, share or grow something, not just tell them what to watch.

60-second anime guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Do you make art, videos, cosplay, translations or reviews around anime
• Have you tagged spoilers and named the series and season you mean
• Does your opening answer the reader's question in the first two lines
• Have you kept out piracy links and adult content
• Would a creator who isn't a superfan still find it useful

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• Growing an audience as an anime artist or reviewer
• Fan art, studios and staying on the right side of the rules
• Cosplay as a craft: builds, materials and conventions
• How anime streaming and simulcasts changed the way fans watch
• Translating and subtitling, from people who've done it
• Running an online shop for fan made prints or merch
• Anime style in marketing and brand collaborations
• Starting a channel or podcast about anime and keeping it going

If your post could be published on any anime site with the logo swapped, it is not for us.

How to submit

Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.

What a strong anime pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about the top ten anime of all time." A strong one says "I sell fan art prints at conventions, and I want to show how I choose which series to draw for, the rules I follow on studio artwork, and what changed when I moved my sales online." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• What a fan artist checks before selling prints of a series
• Planning a cosplay build from reference to finished costume
• How a small anime channel picks what to cover each season
• Subtitling lessons from a fan translator
• Brand collaborations with anime studios and what they look for
• Running a convention table without losing a weekend of sales
• Using anime art styles in content without copying anyone
• Building a community around a niche series

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept anime guest posts?

Yes. Anime guest posts are welcome from artists, reviewers, cosplayers, translators and creators who have built something around anime. We publish practical, thoughtful articles and decline piracy links, adult content and untagged spoilers.

What anime topics do you accept?

Fan art and studio rules, reviews with a point of view, cosplay builds, translation and subtitling, running a fan shop or channel, and how streaming and licensing work. The common thread is something a creator can use, not just a list of shows.

Do you accept manga, comics or gaming guest posts too?

Yes, manga and comics pitches fit here when they help creators, and wider entertainment pitches suit the movie and news pages. Every pitch reaches the same editor, and the same rule applies: original, tested and fair to the people who make the work.

How long should a guest post be?

Most accepted posts run between 1,200 and 2,000 words. Length matters less than usefulness: a tight 1,200 word post with one clear lesson beats a 3,000 word overview every time. Use short paragraphs, clear subheadings and at least one real example.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and helps the reader. Posts written purely to build a backlink with no real value for the reader are not published.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn or a guest slot on another site. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before anything goes live.

Can I use AI tools to help write my guest post?

You can use AI to help with research or tidying your draft, but the experience, examples and opinions must be yours. Posts that read like generic AI output, with no first-hand detail, are declined.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a brand or agency wanting to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.

How long does a decision take?

We aim to come back to you within a few working days. If the pitch is specific and clearly written, with the result in the first line, the decision is much faster.

Do you edit guest posts before they go live?

Yes. Every accepted post gets an editorial pass for clarity, structure and accuracy, and you may be asked for an extra example or a missing number. The aim is to make your piece as useful as it can be, not to change your voice.

Can I pitch more than one idea?

Yes, but send them one at a time or as a short numbered list with one line each. The strongest pitch goes first, and a single clear idea with a real result almost always beats several vague ones.

How do I submit a anime guest post?

Send your pitch through the contact form with the topic, the specific result or lesson you will cover, and a line on your own experience making art, videos, cosplay or reviews around anime. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
