Calling all Writers: Guest Post for us during the #AtoZChallenge

-
We signed up to participate in the A to Z Challenge in April. One of the major goals of the challenge is to help promote other blogs (as well as yourself). In doing so, participants get to mingle with other bloggers, which sounds like a great way to network. Expanding our personal reach online is a great start, but being able to help writers do the same is even a better goal.

The challenge calls for 26 blog posts in 26 days, each day starting with a different letter of the alphabet. This is a major undertaking for anyone, but for writers who maintain blogs, this could be a monumental task. So for that reason, we’re extending an invitation to our writer fans to write guest posts for us.

The general theme we’re looking for is Writing Tips, but we’re flexible on this. If you have an idea for a particular letter, we’d be happy to entertain it. For some I thought of more than one great idea. You could go with either one or something else.

Bold—No one has requested.

Italics—Requested, pending.

Stroked Out—We have a post for this letter.

If you would like to sign up, please do so below. Until we have your post (and approve it), we’ll keep that letter active. Once we have a definite post for a letter, we’ll strike it out in the above list. After I receive a synopsis that I approve of, I'll change the line of that letter to Italics and take the Bold off. That letter will still be available until I strike it out.

If you want a letter that is already taken (or in the process of approval), we may ask you to write for another letter. If you would still like to write for a particular letter, we may run your post or the other post for that letter before the challenge begins in order to advertise the challenge. We'll do our best not to turn anyone away. We'll find room for your post somewhere.

Just so that we aren't frantically putting everything together at the last minute, we'd like the posts in as quickly as possible. Though there isn't going to be a word count requirement, we would appreciate several hundred words, 500 or so being ideal. The optional writer bio can be included in this number.
