Write for Us Science: Science Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Most science pitches read like an abstract lifted from a journal, full of terms most readers have never heard and no answer to the question so what. Editors see the same pattern every week: a study gets summarised, a conclusion gets restated, and the reader is left to work out why any of it matters to their business or their day. What this blog wants instead is one finding, explained in plain language, with a clear line to a decision a reader can make because of it.

I read every pitch as a business owner first, not a scientist. My readers are marketers, founders and agency owners who want to understand what a piece of research means for how they work, sell or communicate, not a summary written for other academics. If your post turns a study into something a reader can act on this week, it belongs here.

60-second science guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Can you explain the finding without jargon a business owner would not know
• Have you named the actual study, researcher or source
• Does your first paragraph answer the reader's question outright
• Have you left out any pitch for your own product or research tool
• Would a busy business owner learn something they can use this week

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 science pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I'd love to write about the fascinating world of science and how it relates to business." A strong one says "I'm a behavioural scientist and want to write about a study on decision fatigue that explains why shorter checkout forms convert better, with the actual numbers." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• A specific study with a result that changes how a business should act
• A science myth that costs businesses time or money when people believe it
• A concept from psychology or biology explained for someone with no science background
• A contrarian take backed by research rather than opinion
• A piece of your own research or work translated for a business audience

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept science guest posts?

Yes. Science guest posts are welcome when they come from someone who can take a real study or field of research and explain what it means for a business owner or marketer, in plain language. We publish articles on behavioural science, psychology, attention and decision making, written by people with genuine subject knowledge. Posts that read like a lecture with no practical point get declined.

What science topics do you accept?

Behavioural science and psychology as they apply to marketing and decisions, attention and focus research, sustainability research that affects customer expectations, and myth busting pieces that correct common misunderstandings. The common thread is a finding explained clearly with a reason it matters to someone running a business, rather than a broad tour of a scientific field.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site or research is fine when it is relevant and adds value for the reader. Posts written purely for link building with no real explanation are not published. We do not publish posts that exist mainly to promote a supplement, app or paid research tool.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission to this blog must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn articles or a university newsletter under a different byline. Republished or lightly reworded content is declined, and we do check before anything goes live, so save the original for your own channels.

How do I submit a science guest post?

Send your pitch through the contact form and include the topic, the specific finding or study the post covers, and a line on your background with the subject. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on fit before you write 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, publication or research group looking 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 science guest post be?

There is no fixed word count, but posts that perform best usually run between one thousand two hundred and two thousand words, because that is what it takes to explain a finding and its business relevance without losing the reader. A tight post that explains one study well beats a padded overview of a whole field.

What makes a science pitch stand out?

A named study or source, a plain language explanation, and a clear line to a decision a reader can make. Something like what a memory study means for how long your emails should be beats broad framing like the science of marketing. Editors want a point of view that could only come from someone who understands the research, not someone paraphrasing a headline.
