Submission Guidelines

Guest Blogger Submission Guidelines

Interested in submitting content to our blog? TWU Health Studies invites our students, faculty, staff,  alumni, and others to submit a guest post on our blogs! Showcase your writing skills and provide helpful information to our Health Studies community!

What type of content do you accept?
We are particularly interested in healthy living, academic and career success tips and ideas, and topics of interest to health educators and future health educators. We prefer authors who work in the health, health education, academic, or career development fields.

We will allow links in your articles if they are relevant to the topic you are writing about. We ask that you include proper attribution. Linking to your blog or website is okay if it primarily focuses on health, health education, academic, or career development fields, and if it can be clearly ascertained that the blog or site is owned by you. You may link to your own site or sites to buy your book in your byline (see Post Author below).

We have no minimum length requirement, but prefer that posts be at least 200 words. Remember that longer posts may be daunting. Longer posts may be broken up by subheadings.

Post Author
We want to help promote you as the author of your article, and so we provide you the opportunity to include a byline. Post author may include an author bio up to 150 words and up to three links. You may also include an image. We recommend that at least one of the links from your byline should lead to a page where readers can learn more about you. Linking to your blog or website is okay if it primarily focuses on health, health education, academic, or career development fields, and if it can be clearly ascertained that the blog or site is owned by you.

Guest bloggers may link to their own content within the post when applicable, but this is subject to review.

By submitting your post(s), you acknowledge that your post(s) belong to TWU Health Studies and will be credited to the author. Also, by submission, you allow TWU Health Studies to share your comments publicly

Review
TWU Health Studies reserves the right to review and edit for grammar. We regularly edit posts by our contributors and guest bloggers. We will not rewrite your article, but may make grammatical changes, minor edits, title changes, photo changes, and other changes. If a post needs improvement, we will return it to you with suggestions. Please do not be offended if we suggest changes.

No payment will be involved for guest blog content.

TWU Health Studies reserves the right to make links within an author’s text to other posts in TWU Health Studies (including department website and blog).

Publishing of the blog post will be done at the discretion of TWU Health Studies. After a post is approved, it may be a while before it is actually published.

TWU Health Studies reserves the right to decline publishing any post or to remove a post after it has been published.

Images
Images are great for garnering attention. TWU Health Studies may include one with your post. If you have an image in mind, please let the editors know and they will take it into consideration.
