Please ensure when you upload your submission that you include the following:
- A short author biography. This doesn’t need to be lengthy, as long as it is at least a paragraph and no more than 400 words. If we need more information, we will get in touch.
- We prefer to include an author image with each article – although this is not a requirement, we ask that if you feel comfortable, you send us an author headshot to include with your bio. Please make sure this image is a clear and high-resolution image and is not an Instagram image. The higher the quality the better.

Unique content is when you are submitting something that has not yet been published online elsewhere.
Syndicated Content: Although we are happy to share syndicated content on our site, you must inform us if and where the article has been published previously and ensure you have permission from the original publication to syndicate this content.** - Equally so, if after submitting to us you find someone else has published your work, please let us know as soon as possible.
- Please make sure that your article includes a preferred Headline and Sub-Header for your article. (However, please be aware that changes and edits to the article will be at the discretion of the Editor and headlines may be changed before publication.)

** The Difference Between Syndicated and Unique Content
Syndicated articles are treated slightly different to unique content article. We are more than happy to publish syndicated articles, however, they will appear under our syndicated section, meaning you will not receive a full author bio. Although a link will be added to the bottom of your article (back to the originally published piece) you will be shown under our Guest Writer bio. No full bio will be added or author image.
All Unique Content pieces will be uploaded with a full author biography pages and an author headshot.

H1: Calling all Peanut Butter Lovers
H2: Two of the Best Peanut Recipes
SEO checked: Yes – strongly placed wording for Peanut, Peanut Butter and Recipe
Rationale. I’ve picked two recipes, one for crunchy lovers and one for smooth. I think it works well with both especially in the context of it being peanut butter lover day.
Concerns. No specific concerns, but I’d happily take your feedback though and changes etc.
Images: I have attached images of the recipe process for your consideration.
Publish Ready/Proofed: Yes
Date Restrictions/Review Date and or Time or Seasonal Constraints: None necessarily, however, would fit best around World Peanut Day
H1 (Headline): Calling all Peanut Butter Lovers
H2 (Sub-header): Two of the Best Peanut Recipes
