Brand Shamans Content Community LLC Style Guide (Submission Guidelines)
Submission Guidelines Last Updated: 10/7/2023
Main Goal: Be Authentic
The principal objective for both us and our writers is to articulate genuine thoughts and perspectives. While promoting freedom of speech, we curate content that showcases authentic opinions and distinct voices. We encourage writings that champion causes and individual perspectives.
General Protocols
Word Constraints
There isn't a stringent word limit. But, a singular sentence does not qualify as an article. From short poems to expansive essays, we trust our writers to provide substantial content.
Acceptable Topics
We celebrate diversity in content. Whether it's personal experiences, advocacy, or informative pieces, feel free to share. Ensure your content doesn't incite harm, violence, or illegal activities. If you think your topic requires a new category, reach out to us.
Image & Photography Protocol
We pair suitable images with accepted content. Currently, we are not open to image submissions except for the author's bio picture, which should feature you.
Author Description
Include a concise author bio with a personal photo. The image can also feature pets or family members, as long as you are visible. You can incorporate up to three external links, like your website or social profiles.
Promotional Hyperlinks
Hyperlinks enhancing the value of the post are encouraged. A maximum of three source links and three non-source links are permitted. Ensure that the content isn't overwhelmed by promotional materials. Spam or excessive self-promotion will lead to rejection.
