WANT TO WRITE A GUEST BLOG POST FOR THE MY PILLOW GUIDE?
Why’d you want to write a guest blog post for me?
- Get an author bio and photo at the end of your blog post.
- Clickable links to your website/blog/social media.
- Get your ideas out there!
How to do it
- Step 1: Send a query email. Email services[at]mypillowguide.com, with the subject of ‘Guest Blog Post’. Include in your query email: a short blurb about yourself and what you would like to blog about. Also include any links to your blog, facebook or twitter. Please do not send in full articles as a submission query.
- Step 2: Wait for a reply. If I like the sound of what you intend to guest post, I will then send you the green light to go ahead and write/create/do your guest post.
Submission Requirements:
- Word Count: Starting from 1200 words.
- Please make sure all spelling and grammar are correct, with no double spaces between sentences. I recommend you have your guest post proofread by another person.
- The My Pillow Guide may edit guest posts prior to publication. By edit, I refer to spelling, grammar and punctuation errors only. If further editing is required, I will do our best to notify the author beforehand.
- I do not claim ownership over your submission. However, you may not use, submit, post or re-purpose your submission on any personal website or blog within six months of the publication date of the My Pillow Guide blog. After six months you may use your submission for your own personal blog or website, but must include a link back to the My Pillow Guide website and the words: ‘First seen on the My Pillow Guide blog [include a link]. Republished with permission.’
- You agree that all contributions and forms of media you submit, which include, but are not limited to, written pieces and photos are either:
Owned by yourself and you authorise My Pillow Guide to use them on My Pillow Guide blog/website. - Are able to be used commercially for free, and My Pillow Guide is authorized to use them on My Pillow Guide website. I will not accept any responsibility for any copyright or ownership infringements made by guest posters.

Integrity:
- While original content is highly preferred, I’m open to accepting re-purposed blog posts, provided they are your original work and have not been published anywhere else other than your personal blog. By re-purposed I refer to blog posts that have been edited and re-written to fit My Pillow Guide blog.
- Please reserve all self-promotion to your bio space. One or two links to a related blog post is acceptable ONLY if it is necessary to the flow of your guest post. Any guest posts that are overwhelmingly “salesy” will not be accepted.
- All photography must be your own work, or you have the artist’s permission to use it freely for commercial use. You must include the name of the artist as credit in your guest post. Artwork or photography without specified credit will not be used.
- When taking photographs to include with your guest post, please ensure they are clear, appropriate and at high-quality resolution.
- My Pillow Guide reserves the right to edit and/or crop photographs.
What can’t be published:
- Content that’s been covered on our blog before
- Content that may be construed as a link-building scheme
- Content that’s too promotional for your brand/blog
- Content that’s offensive or inaccurate
- Content that’s been published elsewhere
