SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Mindstudio is a community of curious, ambitious and growth minded individuals passionate about self-improvement. It is a place where people come together to share what they’ve been through and what they’ve learned.

We wish for candid contributors, like yourself, to share your authentic voices and unique points of view.

Anyone, of any age, from any location can submit an original post (not previously published anywhere else, including your own site), with a bio, for inclusion on our website.

This is not an exclusive space, reserved for experts, thought leaders, or professional writers. This is a website where information is shared in order for us all to grow.

WHAT MAKES A STRONG ARTICLE

·         They are deeply personal. They are clear thoughts and don’t include vague references to the authors’ experiences. Rather, the article should draw the reader in emotionally, painting a vivid picture of a universal, relatable life experience.

·         They dig beneath the surface. The advice should be insightful and thought provoking, enabling readers to understand themselves and the world on a deeper level.

·         They’re practical and actionable when applicable. Not all posts need a list of things to do; in fact, some are more powerful without one. But when the topic warrants clear action steps, these posts deliver.

WHY CONTRIBUTE TO MINDSTUDIO?

1. Your post will receive exposure

2. Every post includes a bio with links back to your site.

WRITING GUIDELINES

·         Include a visual at the top of your post.

·         The word counts should be between 1,000 and 2,500 words.

·         Share a particular story from your life, with relatable detail. For example, don’t just tell us you went through a tough time; show us. What happened? Who was there? What do you think caused this to happen? How did you feel when it happened? And after it? The article will be far more powerful if you also share the lesson learnt.

·         Suggest insights and practical tips to help readers overcome similar challenges.

·         Choose a topic related to personal growth, discovery of self, empowerment, self-discovery and so on. Topics that would enlighten and enable people to be the best version of themselves.

·         Provide original, personal, and honest work. Original means your post has never been published anywhere, including your own blog, and does not include any sections taken from a previously published post.

·         Keep paragraphs to three sentences or fewer. Include a bio, seventy-five words or fewer, at the bottom of the post. You can include as many links as you’d like.

·         Reserve self-promotion to your bio (as opposed to marketing a business course, workshop, or service directly in the post). Please note that links in the body of the post may be removed.

HOW TO SUBMIT

·         Send your post in plain text, not HTML, in Microsoft Word to info@mindstudio.com.ng with the title in the subject line. Please only send one submission per email.

A FEW MORE THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

If your post feels like a good fit for our website, you will receive a response within two weeks. If you don’t receive a response, please feel free to try again with a different post.

You may be asked to revise your article, to strengthen it or make it clearer, and your proposed title may be changed before the article goes live.

Your article may be edited for clarity, grammar, and overall style. If there are any major changes made, you will be asked to review and approve it first.
