Submissions

Our goal is that no writer mom who graces our website would ever feel that we’re any better than you. The MOB Society is not an elite club.  There’s no access code. We all put our pants on one leg at a time, and we all struggle to know how to raise godly men.

In other words…you’re in like flynn (really…I don’t know what that means, but you’re in anyway!)

Twice a year we host an entire month of guest posts. That’s right, an entire calendar month where we show off YOUR thoughts on raising godly men in OUR main space.

Me casa et su casa amigos.

March 2012 marks our first guest month at the MOB Society. We’ll host another one later this year, but we want YOU to send us your very best, ORIGINAL, pre-edited work by February 15, 2012. (Under normal circumstances, we will not accept posts previously published on another site). This is your time to shine friends! Make it your best! Have it edited! Most of the people we ask to become permanent parts of our team started out with amazing guest posts…hint, hint).

When you do, you can expect the following process:

  1. You’ll get an immediate auto-reply when you email us your submission to themobsociety (at) gmail (dot) com, letting you know we have received your email.
  2. Please put this exact phrase (without the quotation marks) in the subject line: “MOB Submission Month.” 
  3. Please do NOT send your post as an attachment. Copy and paste it right into the body of your email, making sure it is completely HTML-ready.
  4. Look for a second email sometime before the end of the month telling you whether or not we can run your submission. Please DO NOT send us an email asking if we got your email, or for a status update. We will send every single person who submits an answer one way or the other, in time. (Grace!)
  5. If we can use your post, we’ll tell you the date and time it will go live in the second email.

Some things to keep in mind as you submit:

  • This is a family-friendly website. Erin and Brooke reserve the right to accept, deny, or edit all submitted posts. No questions asked.
  • Our mission is to provide a safe place for boy moms to laugh and communicate about raising godly sons. Please keep your posts in line with our mission.
  • 500-700 words
  • Please use at least one picture in your post. Size it somewhere close to 500 x 300 and be sure to give credit where credit is due. We recommend using your own photos when possible.
  • Please include a brief bio and thumbnail photo of yourself at the end of your post. Feel free to include links to your own site where appropriate.
  • If you are chosen to be a guest-poster, please post about it at your website (where applicable) to send your traffic to us that day. But don’t post the article word-for-word at your site. This kills SEO (search engine optimization) and hurts us both. In fact, we’d even love for you to use an entirely different title if you can, and not include any of the text from your post on your own site. In other words, get creative! (We know you can do it!)

That’s it! We can’t wait to show you off friends. So get busy writing!

Note: Please only send guest posts when our guest post month is open.
