• Payment: U.S. dollars in the form of a business check.
• a byline -- under five sentences, including one web address and business name;
• 99 x 125 pixel .jpg headshot of author;
• an active link back to the author's website; and
• exposure for author's book/product—linked using our Amazon affiliate (as long as it's safe for children to read).

• We reserve the right to change the focus of this publication at any time.
  
  
• We reserve the right to edit for space, our publication's voice, style, grammar, punctuation, typos, etc.
  
  
• We reserve the right to change your article's title, condense your byline, and/or rearrange content to flow smoother.
  
  
• We reserve the right to ask for rewrites to make the piece its best.
  
  
• We reserve the right to refuse submissions at our discretion. And to choose whether your piece will go into our e-zine or be posted online.

• Provide original content.
  We don't want to read your article and think, "Did I read that somewhere before?"
  Articles should be entertaining, educational, informative, and actionable.
  
  
• Don't offer material that overlaps with an existing article.
  If you feel your article is better than one written on our website, or offers a fresh angle, don't hesitate to request a chance to prove it to us. But don't send us something that duplicates what is already on the site; only written with a different voice.
  
  
• Be conversational.
  Write your piece with a conversational tone, but include more of a journalistic approach.
  
  
• Stay on topic.
  Write your articles on a single topic only.
  We don't like articles that barely scratch the surface by offering blurbs.
  
  
• Give details.
  Be as detailed as possible. Give us step by step instructions, take us from point A to point B, don't leave us guessing. Our readers don't want fluff, they want real substance.
  
  
• Be factual.
  There's a lot of misinformation on the Internet these days. We want to help our readers by providing true and accurate information.
  
  
• Don't be preachy.
  We're not interested in having you prove to us how wrong we are and how right you are. We're interested in learning and growing, and forming our own decisions―educated and informed decisions.
  
  
• Include citations.
  When appropriate, use statistics, and information to back up or prove your point.
  
  If you are going to state a fact, statistic, or other figure in your piece, you must use the most recent data. Please do not use information that you researched a year (or more) ago. You must also give credit to your source.
  
  
• Include quotes and make them count.
  When appropriate, include Biblical quotes and references and use a combination of anecdotes, facts, and quotes.
  
  Quotes used must make your piece stronger. In other words, can the piece be written without the quotes and still make sense or do the quotes help solidify the piece?
  
  We want new quotes from recent interviews and a minimum of 2 different experts. All expert quotes must be more than one-line sentences and used throughout your work; not just in one small section.
  
  We do not want a quote from an interview you did last year, and especially not one you did three years ago. We also do not want you taking quotes from other articles to be used in your article.
  
  You can use a quote from a book if you also reference the author's book as the source, (such as the ones used in the article here), but we will not pay the higher article fee for such quotes.
  

• Book excerpts and adaptations.
• Articles distributed for free before.
• Articles you plan to distribute for free in the future.
• Articles written to build links back to your website.
• New pieces you don't want a one-month exclusivity clause on.
