Guest Post Guidelines

Before submitting your article to us, ensure you take note of the following guidelines:

  • Your submission will be reviewed and if it will be beneficial to WhyToRead.com readers, it is likely
    to be published.
  • Posts must be unique, expertly written, and not been published previously.
  • The article length must be a minimum of 750 words long.
  • Conduct a spelling and grammar check before submission (www.grammarly.com is great for this).
  • Ensure any links are relevant to the topic and working.
  • Product or book reviews may be accepted, however, do not include affiliate links.
  • Use of headings, bullets, lists and short paragraphs is highly encouraged as it makes the reading experience much better.
  • Submit your proposed article via e-mail to library@whytoread.com. Word document is our preferred format. Include any images which you would like to show (however, these are not
    mandatory).

Guest posts are generally reviewed within 1 week and if accepted will be published within 1 week.

Tips To Get Your Article Published

  • We can’t emphasise enough to proof read your article and ensure it has a good English reading flow. We are happy to fix up minor amendments, however we will ask you to resubmit it if this process takes up too much of our time.
  • If you really want to impress us, place 1 Internal link within the article that links to other pages or
    posts already on WhyToRead.com. Again, this saves us time and gets your post published sooner.
  • Headings, headings, headings! This is probably the main thing we are constantly adding to the submissions we receive. Ensure your post has 1 x H1 heading (Title); at least 2 x H2 headings (Introduction and Conclusion); and H3 headings (Lists, Events, Key Contributions, Pros and Cons, etc). If unsure, look at the most recently published articles.
