Guidelines for Guest Posts

by Mike Nichols

The community here at Thesis Theme Tools benefits when there are a variety of voices writing articles and comments. For this reason, guest posts are heartily welcomed as a way to bring fresh perspectives and experiences to readers.

If you want to write a post, contact me

If you think you would like to write a guest post for Thesis Theme Tools, please email me using the “Contact” tab found at the top of each page. You may have a finished post, the idea for a post, or just an different way of doing things that you think will be of interest to readers. All are welcome. The email does not obligate you in any way.

Please include the following information in your Contact email:

Your real name. Guest posts can be anonymous or written under a pseudonym, but I need your real name.
An outline of your experience and qualifications for writing a guest post.
Links to other guest posts that you have written, to your blog, or to other materials if applicable. This will let me see your writing style, but they are not required. First-time writers are encouraged to explore writing a guest post.
Your post subject or ideas. If you do not have a specific subject in mind, please include enough information so that we can work together on a topic.

In my reply to your initial contact we will discuss the possibilities. If you and I agree on a guest post, I will give you details about how to submit your post and other necessary information.

Editorial policy

In general, I try not to edit guest posts beyond basic spell checking — I want the words and style to be yours. I may add an image and will do formatting so that your post looks the best it can.

Payment for guest posts

Unfortunately, I cannot afford to pay you for a guest post. However, I do want to make sure that you receive as much credit as possible through links to your blog and other internet locations. You may mention your guest post in other media in any way that will be helpful to you.
