Blog Post Guidelines

 

DO YOU HAVE A CHRISTIAN MESSAGE TO SHARE, AN INSPIRING STORY TO TELL, A CHRISTIAN BOOK TO PROMOTE?

If you would like to guest on one or both of my blogs, please contact me at [email protected]. I post on each blog bimonthly.

PATTI'S PORCH

My goal on Patti’s Porch is to promote the work of Christian authors and writers (not necessarily published). I prefer that posts on this blog target readers more than writers. 

 

 THE OVER 50 WRITER

I especially like posts on The Over 50 Writer from folks who have achieved a “first” at age 50 or over: first book published, first agent acquisition, first conference attended, whatever. However, I'm broadening my focus a bit this year. I would like to see it expand from a blog written to over 50 writers to a blog written by over 50 writers to writers of any age. In other words, share what you know with the up and coming generations of writers! I always like to use the site to promote the work of over 50 writers, published or unpublished. This blog targets writers more than readers.

 

I accept articles, personal experience stories, and devotionals on both blogs.

Please provide a title for your post.

If you do not feature a book or have a book cover photo, pleae provide an appropriate photo to serve as a header for the post.

If you use scripture in your post, please identify from which version of the Holy Bible it was obtained.

In addition to your post of 300-800 words (ave), I also request:

a short bio of the author (50 – 100 words)

headshot

book cover photo (if applicable)

book cover blurb (if applicable)

Any links you would like includedNOTE:  Please send photos in jpeg format  and other information in a Word docmuent as attachments, not within the body of an email.
