Write for Us College: College Blog Guest Post Guidelines
I publish college guest posts from current students, recent graduates, college advisers and lecturers. The best ones are practical: the apps and planners that kept someone on track, note taking methods for lectures, choosing a course, finding internships and building study routines. I won't publish essay mill or homework for hire promotion, university adverts or admissions guarantees.
College write for us leads mostly to education blogs and college community pages that take contributor posts, and many are written for parents or for staff. Students themselves are quieter there. I'd like the opposite: a student who's just finished a degree explaining the planner setup that got them through finals, or a lecturer saying plainly what good lecture notes look like.
Some of my readers are students. More are graduates starting out in business, freelancing or a first job. They use my guides to free AI tools for students and student planner apps. A college post should help them study, plan or take their next step, and it shouldn't lecture them.
60-second college guest post check
A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:
- Are you a student, recent graduate, adviser or lecturer
- Have you kept out essay services and homework help for hire
- Does the first paragraph answer the question
- Is there a method or tool you've used yourself
- Have you avoided promising admission to any college
Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

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 college pitch looks like
A weak pitch says "I want to write about ten reasons college is worth it." A strong one says "I graduated last summer and I want to show the note taking system I built in second year, the app that held it together, and how it changed the way I revised for exams." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.
The angles that get accepted fastest
- A note taking system built over three years of lectures
- Planner apps compared by someone who's used them all term
- Applying for an internship while carrying a full timetable
- Things I'd tell myself before moving into halls
- Lecturers on what good notes look like
- Studying in a room you share
- Picking a course when you're torn between two
- Dividing the work fairly on group projects

Frequently asked questions
Does Lilach Bullock accept college guest posts?
Yes. College guest posts are welcome from students, recent graduates, advisers and lecturers. Posts should share what worked for you, and must not promote essay services or promise admission.
What college topics do you publish?
Study apps and planners, note taking, choosing and applying for a course, internships and first jobs, study routines and living away from home.
My post is about careers after college. Where should it go?
The career page suits posts about job hunting and working life once you've graduated. Every pitch reaches the same editor, so send it and I'll match it to the right page.
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 college 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 studying, advising or lecturing at college. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
