Write for Us Parenting: Parenting Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Parenting content is often either perfect family photos or generic advice. What this blog wants is the honest working parent view: how you run a business or career around a family, what helped, what did not, from someone living it.

My readers run small businesses and freelance careers, and a lot of them are parents fitting work around school runs and bedtimes. A parenting post has to be practical, honest and useful for someone short on time.

60-second parenting guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Are you writing from your own experience as a parent or professional
• Do you have a real example or a before and after
• Does your opening answer the reader's question straight away
• Have you removed any pitch for one brand or product

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• How you run a business or career around young children, week by week
• A routine or system that gave a working parent real time back
• Starting a business while on parental leave, and what happened
• Growing a family or parenting brand, with the results
• Childcare, school and work juggling from real experience

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

What we don't accept

• Product round ups written for affiliate clicks
• Promotion of one brand, product or service
• Generic parenting advice with no experience behind it
• Previously published posts republished from another site

What you get

• Your article in front of an engaged audience of business owners, marketers and founders
• One relevant, contextual link back to your own site
• 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 parenting pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about ten tips for busy mums." A strong one says "I grew my bookkeeping business to twelve clients working only school hours by batching calls into two mornings, so I want to show my weekly plan, what I said no to and how clients reacted." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• Running a business around children
• A routine that gave time back
• Starting a business on parental leave
• Growing a family brand
• A contrarian view on work life balance

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept parenting guest posts?

Yes. Parenting 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 product round ups written for affiliate clicks.

What parenting topics do you accept?

We accept working parents running businesses and careers, routines and systems, starting a business around a family, family and parenting brands, and childcare and school juggling. 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 a parenting 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 a parenting 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 a parenting 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: I grew my bookkeeping business to twelve clients working only school hours by batching calls into two mornings, so I want to show my weekly plan, what I said no to and how clients reacted.
