Interested in sharing a post here?
I’m happy to have you! Guest posts benefit us both.
Here are some guidelines to consider before reaching out:
- Longer posts are encouraged – at least 1200 words.
- Spoiler posts are preferred, especially for genres that I don’t read. I prefer that spoiler posts be formatted like my recent long-form spoiler posts that include reviews. All spoilers should be clearly labeled at the beginning or else hidden under a well-marked dropdown.
- Any bookish content is welcome, such as:
- Spoiler-free reviews
- Commentary on book-to-screen adaptations
- Author interviews
- Bookish opinion pieces
- “How to” posts related to book blogging or Bookstagram
- List posts may be submitted, but must have substance.
- Travel posts are welcome and will be featured under my travel page.
- Content not related to books or travel will be accepted only if I feel it suits the blog.
Any content submitted for guest posts must be purely author-created. No AI submissions will be accepted, as AI devalues the site.
Please include a short bio (~75 words) with your post. Make sure this bio links back to your own website or social media. If you have a headshot, you are welcome to include it. You could also submit an embeddable image with links to your sites such as in this post by one of my guest bloggers.
I reserve the right to edit posts before publishing them on my site. I will alert you to any changes before publishing.
I request that posts be submitted at least one week before your preferred posting date. If you don’t have a preferred date, I’ll let you know when is best for my posting schedule. I request that you keep an eye on the post for a few days after it has published in order to respond to any comments.
How to submit a guest post request
If you’re interested in submitting a guest post, the best way to reach me is at caroline.bookends@gmail.com. When you reach out, please include links to your website or social media so I can get a feel for your writing style. If you’ve written guest posts for other blogs, please include those links as well.
I’m looking forward to working with you!
