/ Contribution & Guest Post Policy

** AT THIS TIME I AM NOT ACCEPTING UNSOLICITED GUEST POSTS DUE TO SCHEDULING ISSUES. PLEASE CHECK BACK TO SEE WHEN I WILL RESUME CONSIDERATION OF GUEST PIECES. THANK YOU **

Jill-Elizabeth.com will accept contributions of original fiction, poetry, book reviews, and original non-fiction and essays related to reading and/or writing for publication consideration.

General Criteria for Contributions

  • Jill-Elizabeth.com is a website devoted to reading and writing. Please bear this in mind when deciding what to submit. Fictional works on any and all topics will be considered, because they are fundamentally about writing. Non-fiction works will only be considered if they are germane to the overall website theme. Pieces that are purely or primarily promotional will not be accepted. The piece may include references to published works or products, but should contain value-added content beyond short- or long-form advertisement for said works/products.
  • All submitted works will be reviewed for appropriateness and content, and the author will be notified in a timely manner (generally within the week) whether the work is accepted for publication on Jill-Elizabeth.com. If a work is accepted, the author will be notified of the proposed publication date as soon as it is determined, and will be sent an email with a direct link the day the post goes live.Jill-Elizabeth.com is an all-ages website.
  • All submitted works must be appropriate for viewing by readers of all ages. Submitted works should not contain obscene or adult language, adult content, or graphic depictions of violence, sex, or mature situations.
  • Submitted works may be published previously on the author’s own website, as long as a linkback and/or electronic reference is made on the author’s own site to the posting on Jill-Elizabeth.com.
  • All submitted works should contain a brief biographical statement that will be included in the published post. This may contain a link to the author’s website and/or email address, as well as a promotional blurb about the author’s work(s). Photographs/images are encouraged, and links to the author’s external sites may be included, but Jill-Elizabeth.com reserves the right to make the final determination as to what is included in the final, published post.
