Frequently Asked Questions

How soon will I find out if you will publish my post?

You will be notified within 4 to 6 weeks if we plan to use your article. If you have not heard back from us within one month of your submission, please feel free to email us again and double check that it was received.

Will you edit my submission?

We reserve the right to edit submissions for content, space, and clarity. If we make any more than slight editorial changes, we will get your approval on the final draft.

May I republish my post elsewhere?

By submitting your post to Kindred Grace, you agree to give us exclusive rights to the online publication of your post (see above). That is because search engines like Google view content duplicated between sites as plagiarized content. Republication of your post on your own blog or another blog could potentially damage the online reputation and SEO of not only Kindred Grace, but any site republishing your post. If someone inquires about republishing your post, please direct them to our Policies page.

How shall I link to my Kindred Grace guest post from my own blog?

Thank you for being willing to bring your blog’s community over to Kindred Grace for the day! You may simply create a post with a different title and a summary or brief excerpt (approximately 100-200 words), linking to your post at Kindred Grace. Or, you can write a post on a similar theme and invite readers to visit you at Kindred Grace to read more. Please use a different post title and keep the content unique in both posts. Thank you!
