Write for Us Writing: Writing Blog Guest Post Guidelines
Yes, writing guest posts are accepted on this blog. The ideal writer is a freelance writer, author, editor, copywriter or content lead who writes for a living and can show what worked. We decline motivational posts about loving words, and articles written only to promote one course or writing tool.
Most writing advice online is either inspiration or rules. What this blog wants is the working writer's view: how you found clients, how you write faster without losing quality, how you pitched, edited and got published, with the results to show for it.
My readers run small businesses and freelance careers, and a lot of them write for a living or want to. They want more clients, better rates of work and less time stuck on a blank page, so a writing post has to teach from real experience.
60-second writing guest post check
A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:
- Do you write for a living or have you published the work you describe
- Do you have a real example, a client win or a before and after
- Does your opening answer the reader's question straight away
- Have you removed any pitch for one course or tool
Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.
What we publish
- How you found your first regular freelance writing clients, step by step
- A pitch that got you published, and what made it land
- Your editing process, with a before and after of real work
- Writing faster without losing quality, with your actual routine
- Building a writing career or book alongside a day job
If your post could be published on any writing site with the logo swapped, it is not for us.
What we don't accept
- Motivational posts with no practical lesson
- Promotion of one course, tool or writing programme
- Generic writing tips anyone could copy
- 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 writing pitch looks like
A weak pitch says "I want to write about why writing every day matters." A strong one says "I went from two to nine regular clients in six months by sending one tailored pitch a day with a sample paragraph already written for the editor, so I want to show three pitches and the replies they got." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.
The angles that get accepted fastest
- Finding regular writing clients
- A pitch that landed
- An editing process shown on real work
- Writing faster with a real routine
- A contrarian view on writing every day

Frequently asked questions
Does Lilach Bullock accept writing guest posts?
Yes. Writing 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 motivational posts about loving words.
What writing topics do you accept?
We accept freelance writing, pitching and getting published, editing, copywriting and content writing, author and book journeys, and building a writing career. 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 writing 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 writing 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 writing 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 went from two to nine regular clients in six months by sending one tailored pitch a day with a sample paragraph already written for the editor, so I want to show three pitches and the replies they got.
