Guest Post Submission

Are you a local mom with something to say?

A funny story to share, a local business* to rave about? We welcome submissions for guest posts and we would love to share!

Here are a few guest blogging guidelines/FAQs:

  • The post must be original content not published elsewhere. We ask you to submit your post (generally 400-800 words) in a Word document.
  • Along with your post, we ask for you to provide 2 or more pictures. 
  • We need a short bio and a picture of you, or you with your family, to use at the bottom, similar to other contributor posts on our site.
  • We encourage you to include links to your blog/ website, social media channels, and side hustle or non-profit affiliation in your bio, however we ask that you refrain from promoting your financial affiliations within the body of your post. 
  • When we promote your guest post on social media, we will include your social media and website links where applicable. And of course, we hope you do the same! 

{Note: We do NOT accept “guest post” marketing pitches from copywriters looking to exchange content for links, from writers affiliated with other sites or businesses, or from non-San Diego-area writers.}

We are always on the look out for more full-time volunteer contributors and events team ambassadors. Click here to learn more about those opportunities.

Due to a large increase in these kind of guest post pitches, we are unable to respond to your pitch unless you follow the guidelines above exactly. To be considered for a guest post, please fill out the following form:

  • Submit at least two (2) writing samples.

    Links to your personal blog count, but please link to specific posts (those that show off your writing chops) rather than the home page.

    OR you may submit a complete, original blog post (writing samples not required if submitting a completed piece). You can request our Guest Post Guidelines for further assistance. Please follow the guidelines carefully if submitting a completed piece; it will increase your chances of getting published.
