How To Submit A Guest Blog or Sponsored Content Proposal

​

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

 

While most of our blog content is developed and/or solicited by editorial staff, we accept guest post proposals from Dads, Granddads, and others who play daddying roles (e.g., 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 all Daddying guest post proposals and sponsored content inquiries to our Editor, Scott Beller for consideration.

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, short films, behind-the-scenes commentary, original or published poetry, songs, or artwork.

• If accepted, submissions should be approximately 800-1000 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.

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

• Daddying 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 that, if accepted, we can give 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 and artwork (JPEG or PNG formats), brief videos (MPEG, YouTube, or Vimeo links preferred), and/or links to related news articles or websites for including in published layout. Final formatting, graphics/artwork, and overall design of guest blog posts will be at the discretion of Daddying editors.

• Once published on Daddying, editors will share guest posts via social media, including Facebook, Instagram, BlueSky, and ~1,500 MailChimp email subscribers. Guest bloggers are encouraged to share a link to their Daddying post on their own blog, website, social media, or via other personal networking platforms.

• Daddying editors 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.
