How To Submit A Guest Blog or Sponsored Content Proposal

​

The DADvocacy Consulting Group (DCG) is happy to accept third-party proposals for a broad range of Dad-related articles for publishing in the Daddying blog. If interested in submitting sponsored content, please ask for Daddying blog's rate sheet, which includes a range of sponsorship opportunities.

 

While most of our blog content is developed and/or solicited by DCG’s editorial staff, we accept guest post proposals from Dads, Granddads, and others who play daddying roles (e.g., single Moms, brothers, uncles, foster and adoptive Dads, coaches, teachers, mentors, etc), of all backgrounds and expertise. We also accept guest posts from adult children writing about relationships with their fathers/father figures. NOTE: The Daddying blog does not offer paid compensation to guest bloggers.

​

SEND Daddying guest post proposals and sponsored content inquiries to our Editor, Scott Beller for consideration:  Scott [at] daddywishesfund [dot] com

General Guidelines

​

• Prospective guest bloggers should first forward a brief (< 300 words) email proposal with the subject line: “DADDYING Guest Post Proposal.”

• Submission types may be 1st-person narratives, published book excerpts, interviews, dad-focused book/movie commentary or reviews, research-based articles, or other artistic expressions of mindful, engaged parenting, such as Dad-themed photo/video essays and short films, original or published poetry, songs, or artwork.

• If accepted, submissions should be approximately 800 words, unless content warrants more in-depth coverage (e.g., research-heavy articles) and is approved in advance by Daddying editors. We will request additional materials (photos, links, bio, etc.) and may contact you with follow-up questions, as necessary.

• DCG editors reserve the right to edit submissions for clarity and length, as appropriate, and with consent of guest blogger before publishing.

• DCG will accept previously published articles – preferably no more than 5 years old. Please let us know in your proposal if this is the case so, if accepted, we can give appropriate credit/citation upon publication.

• Guest bloggers should provide a photo/headshot and brief bio. Photos of guest blogger with their kids/grandkids or Dads/Granddads are particularly welcome!

• Guest bloggers may also provide additional photos, brief video, artwork (in JPEG, PNG, MPEG, youtube/vimeo link formats), and/or links to related news articles or websites, to be considered for inclusion in published layout. Final formatting, graphics/artwork, and overall design of guest blog posts will be at the sole discretion of DCG editors.

• Once published on Daddying, DCG will share guest posts via social media, including Facebook, Instagram, BlueSky, and ~1,400 MailChimp email subscribers. Guest bloggers are encouraged to share a link to their Daddying post on their own social media or other personal networking platforms.

• DCG will respond to all guest blog proposals within a reasonable timeframe. But given the number of requests we receive, response may take up to three weeks.
