Write for Us Events: Events Blog Guest Post Guidelines
Yes, events guest posts are accepted on this blog. The ideal writer is an event planner, venue owner, conference organiser, webinar host or event marketer who has run real events and can show the results. We decline event listings and hype posts, and articles written only to promote one venue, platform or ticketing tool.
Event content online is mostly listings. What this blog wants is how events get made: how you filled the room, what the run of show looked like, what went wrong on the day and how you turned attendees into customers, told by someone who ran it.
My readers run small businesses, and many use events, webinars and workshops to find clients. They want events that fill up and pay off, so an events post has to teach from real events with real numbers.
60-second events guest post check
A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:
- Have you run the kind of event you describe
- Do you have real numbers, sign ups or sales
- Does your opening answer the reader's question straight away
- Have you removed any pitch for one venue or platform
Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.
What we publish

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

What you get
- Your article in front of an engaged audience of business owners, marketers and founders

- A byline and the credibility of an established, high-traffic blog
- Editorial help to make the piece as strong as it can be before it goes live
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 events pitch looks like
A weak pitch says "I want to write about the top event trends this year." A strong one says "Our monthly breakfast workshop went from twelve to sixty regulars after we asked every attendee to bring one named guest, so I want to show the invite, the follow up and what it did for bookings." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.
The angles that get accepted fastest
- Filling the room
- A run of show that worked
- Attendees into customers
- Running a venue or events business
- A contrarian view on free events

Frequently asked questions
Does Lilach Bullock accept events guest posts?
Yes. Events guest posts are welcome from writers who have done the work and can share what happened. We publish practical articles with real examples and decline event listings and hype posts.
What events topics do you accept?
We accept planning and filling events, webinars and workshops, venues and event businesses, run of show and on the day lessons, and turning attendees into customers. The common thread is a specific lesson with a result attached, not a general overview.
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 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 under a different name. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before it goes live.
How do I submit an events 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 doing the work you are writing about. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before writing a full draft.
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 should an events guest post be?
There is no fixed word count, but posts that do well here usually run from 1,000 to 1,800 words. Long enough to show the example and the numbers, short enough that a busy owner finishes it. Cut anything that repeats what the reader already knows.
What makes an events pitch stand out?
A real result in the first sentence. Say what you did, what changed and over what period, then say what the reader will be able to copy. For example: Our monthly breakfast workshop went from twelve to sixty regulars after we asked every attendee to bring one named guest, so I want to show the invite, the follow up and what it did for bookings.
