Write for What WayD Says

Do you have an interesting take on parenting? Or perhaps you’ve used an app/product (relevant to women) or read a book and would like to write a review about it? Or maybe you’re really very good at a particular hobby and you want to share it with the world? Perhaps you’ve overcome a mental health episode and would like to a space to reflect. Or even better, do you have a short story that you would like to get some unbiased public feedback on?

I am looking for fresh content and I would love to work with you. I envision What WayD Says to be a collection of feel-good and mental health-related resources for the modern woman. I welcome unsolicited articles and blog posts. If you are interested in writing, please continue reading:

Some blog-writing tips

  • Write a headline that will grab your reader’s attention.
  • Write in blog style – short paragraphs (no more than 5 sentences means ample white space). Include a few sub-headings to make it more reader-friendly
  • Write 500 to 1000 words
  • Submit it in a Word document, not PDF. It makes editing easier.
  • Please only submit your pitch once – not multiple times.
  • No plagiarism, please
  • Have a look at my Instagram for an idea of your target audience.
