Posts Must Be 100% Original to Handful of Heather

  • Your guest post should not have appeared on another blog or website before submitting. Once I publish your guest post, it is owned by Handful of Heather. It may not be published on your site or to another blog / site as this will cause search engines to think one of the sites are spam. You can add the link of your guest post to your site and platforms (I encourage it), but it cannot be re-published to another site (including your own).
  • Guest posts will be included in the Handful of Heather Newsletter following the publish date

Please ensure instructions are read thoroughly before submitting your pitch (as well as your post). If I am sent a draft that requires too much work to edit, I may reject it. We know when we are putting in our best work.

I’m excited to see what you guys create,

Heather
