Purposeful Womanhood Blog Guidelines
Welcome to Purposeful Womanhood. We are a community of like-hearted women who love the Lord and want to live out our femininity in a biblical, God glorifying, Titus 2 way. If you have a message to share, but you’re not an author or blogger, we invite you to write for us.
Our goal is to encourage women in the Word of God and point them to Jesus Christ and the gospel.
Please read our blog to get an idea of the type of posts we publish as well as our tone, style, and format. We encourage an informal, conversational style, a non-preachy tone, and easy-to-read format.
Before you submit a post, please read and agree to our guidelines below:
Purposeful Womanhood offers a place for non-professional writers who have a message to share but no place to share it. Therefore, we do not accept submissions from bloggers, published authors, and writers who have published on other platforms.
Content: All content must be original, well-written, clear, and helpful. Feel free to quote others (especially the Bible) but do not share posts or articles already published elsewhere. (For help on writing great blog posts, check out this article: https://www.ourchurch.com/blog/7-essential-ingredients-for-cooking-up-mouth-watering-blog-posts/)
Statement of Faith: Purposeful Womanhood writers must agree with our Statement of Faith.
Blog Focus: Every post should point women to Jesus Christ, be gospel-focused, and Scripture-infused (include biblical references).
Bio: Please include a 2-3 sentence bio at the end of your submission. You may also submit a headshot of yourself, if you would like.
Photos: If you want to include photos/images in your post (which we encourage, but do not require), use your own images or photos authorized as free for public use.
No copyrighted photos allowed.
Must cite the source for any photos that are not your own.
Submit each photo as a separate attachment. (For free photos, we recommend Pixabay.com, Unsplash.com, Picmonkey.com, and Canva.com)
Length of Post: The length of your post is up to you, but posts longer than 1,500 words tend to lose readers. If your message is longer than 1,500, consider submitting it as a series of posts.
Title: Each post must include a Title. (Check out this article on creating click worthy blog post titles: https://bloggersforthekingdom.com/8-tips-for-writing-click-worthy-blog-post-titles-for-your-christian-blog/)
Subheadings aren’t required but are requested. The use of subheadings breaks up the post visually and helps draw the reader through to the end. This article helps you understand their benefits and how to write them: https://copyblogger.com/how-to-write-exquisite-subheads/
Use Short Paragraphs: Blog readers tend to be skimmers, so we encourage short paragraphs over long ones.
Purposeful Womanhood reserves the right to edit and reformat posts.
In rare cases, published posts may be removed from our blog.
How to Submit:
Send your completed post to purposefulwomanhood@gmail.com with the subject line: “Blog Submission to Purposeful Womanhood.”
We strive to respond to submissions in a timely manner, but if you have not heard back from us in over a week, feel free to inquire about your submission.
