About the Wevorce Blog

The Wevorce blog started with humble beginnings but now attracts more than 50,000 unique viewers each month. We also recently ranked number 9 in Feedspot Blog Reader’s Top 100 Divorce Blogs and Websites for the To-Be-Divorced and Divorcees. Our audience consists of both men and women of all ages, some contemplating divorce, others going through a divorce or having experienced a divorce. Additional readers include attorneys, mediators, therapists, and other professionals. 

Here are a few ways contributing to the Wevorce blog can be beneficial to you:

  • Credibility – get your ideas in front of thousands of readers.
  • Visibility – increase awareness about your cause or organization.
  • Networking – engagement with a Wevorce editor and further editorial/research opportunities in the future.
  • Self-promotion – we allow you, the author, to provide a professional bio and a link back to your website after the conclusion of each blog post you submit.

We highly value our relationships with all members of our online community and we thank you for your interest in writing for us. Read on for basic guidelines for blog submissions.

What We Cover

Because Wevorce is a movement, not just a business, our goal is to have a positive and lasting impact on the lives of couples, children, and eventually on the world. You know our story: it’s about doing divorce differently. This story is incorporated into our product, website, and blog, and it’s a crucial part of our manifesto and company culture. 

Over the years, the Wevorce blog has featured a great number of posts related to divorce, relationships, and parenting. But we are always looking for fresh content and varied perspectives. 

If you have exceptional writing skills, and would like to share your expertise in relationships, marriage, divorce, parenting, and/or family law, we’d love to hear from you. We just ask a few things, as outlined in this document. If you have any questions along the way about our process or guidelines, don’t hesitate to email us at editor@wevorce.com.

Basic Guidelines

We eagerly welcome content that is unique, helpful, and provides value to our readers. A post to the Wevorce blog should inspire, comfort, and assist others with thoughtful insight into the subject you are writing about.

Please peruse our blog before submitting your article ideas to familiarize yourself with what has already been covered and to generate new ideas worthy of sharing. 

Due to both respect for our readers and our company guidelines, the Wevorce Editorial Team maintains the right to have final say as to what we will or will not publish. Guest writers will be informed (via email) as to whether or not content will be published to the Wevorce blog. To increase the likelihood that a post will be approved, we recommend our writers avoid submitting the following:

  1. Any unoriginal content (specifically, articles you have written for other websites or that appear elsewhere on the web).
  2. Any topics or angles previously covered on the Wevorce blog (or similar to what has already been published).
  3. Promotional content.
  4. Information that is inaccurate or could be perceived as offensive.
  5. Content that may be overly critical of individuals, companies, etc. Please use tact when making a point, and refrain from name-calling, labeling, and making judgments.

Upon approval, all content will be edited by Wevorce’s editors at our discretion. If more clarification or edits are necessary, writers submitting content agree to respond to Wevorce correspondence in a timely fashion. The Wevorce Editorial Team will also choose corresponding graphics for the final, approved post. 

**Important: effective immediately, posts with five or more grammatical errors will be automatically declined. Please proofread carefully.**

How to Submit a Post Idea

Please email your idea(s) to editor@wevorce.com with Proposed Post as the Subject line. Be sure to include the following information:

  • Proposed post title. As mentioned previously, editors reserve the right to change this at a later time if necessary for space, SEO, etc.
  • A paragraph summary describing the article. 
  • Proposed word count (approximate is fine).
  • One sentence about why you are suggesting this post.

If your article idea aligns with our brand guidelines and editorial standards, we will respond with 1) a scheduled publishing date and 2) a corresponding deadline for you to complete and submit your final draft. Due to the volume of requests received, we may not be able to respond to submissions within a specified timeframe and appreciate your patience.

Guest Post Guidelines

To ensure continuity and editorial integrity throughout Wevorce blog content, please follow these submission guidelines:

  1. Do not advertise your business service or product within your guest post – and do not overtly advertise affiliate products via outbound links. Specifically, this means not mentioning your company or linking to your website, blog, and/or any of your online properties, and not including screenshots or images to promote your products or online properties. Remember: the goal of your post should be to educate, inspire, and comfort our readers; they will view any backlinks as a subliminal advertisement, and may not continue reading or choose to share your post.
  2. If including affiliate links, please note: we will now only publish posts that include a maximum of three external links, with no more than one link (per post) directing to the same URL/website. Additionally, Wevorce reserves the right to review and/or remove any and all affiliate links that are out of context or do not align with our mission to “have a positive and lasting impact on the lives of couples [and] children.” We also reserve the right to modify anchor text so that blog articles and their included links maintain the integrity of the blog post’s content.
  3. Additionally, all submitted posts must include at least two links to published posts on the Wevorce blog.
  4. You can include links to reference material that supports your points, but make sure you are not infringing upon copyright laws when writing your article.
  5. Please include a bio/signature that will appear at the end of your post. Keep this to 50 words or less, and feel free to include the name of your business and a link to your website, if applicable.

  • Example: Rosalind Sedacca, CCT, is a relationship seminar facilitator and author of the new ebook, How Do I Tell the Kids About the Divorce? A Create-a-Storybook Guide to Preparing Your Children — with Love! For free articles, her blog, valuable resources on child-centered divorce, or to subscribe to her free ezine, visit www.childcentereddivorce.com. 

 

  1. We do not allow guest bloggers to republish Wevorce content to their own blog, LinkedIn, Medium, etc. But you can share a link to the Wevorce article via your blog and/or website, newsletter, social media, etc. 
  2. Wevorce reserves the right to edit all submitted content (including blog post titles) as we see fit, and to ensure it complies with our editorial standards. This means we may also make edits and/or updates in the future.

When Writing Content

Please see the following guidelines when writing content:

HEADINGS and FORMATTING

  • When possible, include headings, numbered and bulleted lists, and bold and italicized text in your post.
  • Use present tense, avoid passive voice.
  • Keep your writing simple and clear.
  • Heading length should be 70 characters or less.

CONTENT

  • Do not indent the beginning line of a paragraph.
  • Use single line spacing.
  • At the end of a sentence, do not double space after a period/exclamation mark, etc.; single space only.
  • If you wish to emphasize words within a sentence, use italics, not quotation marks.
  • If you wish to denote irony, use quotes, but use them sparingly as they can become tiresome to a reader.
  • Foreign words should be in italics.
  • Spell out words completely rather than use abbreviations whenever possible.
  • Acronyms should be in uppercase letters without periods. If an acronym may be unfamiliar to a reader, spell out the first instance followed by a shortened form in parenthesis. If the shortened form is better known, use that.
  • In general, spell out whole numbers ten and below, use numbers for 11 and above.

PUNCTUATION

  • Use exclamation points sparingly, if at all. Overuse causes them to lose their impact.
  • Use single quotation marks for a quote within a quote and double quotes for exact quotes.
  • Place periods and commas inside quotation marks.

Submitting Content 

Email your completed blog post to editor@wevorce.com with Content Submission in the Subject line. The article should be a Word document, attached to your email.

Thank you for your interest, and we look forward to hearing from you!

Regards,

Editorial Team
