Be A Featured Columnist

Are you a fashion freak? A love guru? A foodie? A super mom? A pet fanatic? A health nut? A gossip queen? Maybe you're a self-proclaimed word nerd who's a force to be reckoned with on the written page.

Woman writing on computer

Then write for us! SheKnows, one of the nation's leading online women's magazines, is currently looking for new additions to its team of fabulous freelance divas. We want gals who can parlay their interests into colorful, witty, engaging, inspiring and expertly researched articles for our website. No fluff. No flack. Just awesome ideas that become invaluable resources for our growing body of readers.

We're looking for writers who can write in the true voice of SheKnows and connect with our readers, someone who speaks to the regular woman, the super mom, the career gal, women just like you and me.

Step 1

Check out our Writer's Guidelines.

Step 2

Review the site and make sure you aren't going to pitch something we have covered from multiple angles. What do you think we're missing? What do you want to know about?

Step 3

Enter our writer search and win a spot as a featured columnist on SheKnows.com, simply send us an email at skwriters@gmail.com and give us:

  • An introduction. Include a brief bio and tell us why you think you would rock at this.
  • A little taste of your writing chops. Write an article for us that you think our readers would gobble up. Be sure to follow the article guidelines below -- fail to do so and you'll have a one-way ticket to our recycling bin.
  • An idea of how you generate ideas. In addition to your article, please include two or three pitches pertaining to the topics below.  This gives us a clue of what kinds of ideas we can expect from you – stale and boring or lively and interesting.
  • Contact info. Include your name, email address, and phone number so we can reach out to you.  (Not literally, of course. That would hurt our arms.)

Topics

Choose a topic or two from the list below

  • Love (relationships, dating, living the single life, etc.) 
  • Budgeting, money, savings & career
  • Health (fitness, eating healthy, exercise, etc) 
  • Style (beauty, makeup, fashion, looking your best, etc) 
  • Family, parenting & pregnancy (advice for busy moms, hot parenting topics, etc)
  • Food, cooking & recipes
  • Home DIY, improvement & decor
  • Local and/or regional features

Article submission guidelines

Any article submitted should be your original work and not published anywhere else. Articles should be 450 to 600 words in length, and should fall under one of the article categories provided.

Give it jazz hands – don't send us something that would put you to sleep. Our readers want clear, concise info that engages them from beginning to end.  Write something you would want to read! No articles in first person, no profanity, no boring stuff.  Make it sing, sistah!
